Well you see silly Shaker, Jeremy made the claim that Lennox calls himself a scientist. I haven't come across Lennox making that claim yet. So right now I think Jeremy is lying about that.
 I happen to think that if the Alexander von Humboldt fellowship believes Lennox to be a scientist, I'm good with that.  Your opinion that Lennox isn't is nothing but a joke. You have no credentials nor the respect from anybody that matters in that area.

You and Jeremy should know that Lennox isn't the only one in disagreement with that Hawkin. Even some the atheist scientists are not on board with Hawkin's black hole.(snork)  Now this is why we got such a silly knee jerk reaction from Jeremy isn't it. Lennox dares to disagree with that Hawkin fella.

Jeremy made the claim that Lennox calls himself a scientist. I haven't come across Lennox making that claim yet.

Have you not?  That surprises me.  Anyway here is an article in which Lennox claims to be a scientist:

Quote from: John Lennox
But, as both a scientist and a Christian, I would say that Hawking's claim is misguided

I'm surprised you are not familiar with the content of that article since it first came to my attention when you posted it earlier on this thread.

So right now I think Jeremy is lying about that.

I presume you now retract your accusation that I lied over that. 

Unfortunately, since you accused me of lying and the refutation of the accusation appeared in an article you posted, I will not be able to retract the following accusation on the grounds that it appears to be true:

You're an idiot.

A well known phrase containing the words 'hoist' and 'petard' comes to mind.

I must buy that book. I'm a regular reader of his web site so I am morally obliged. Besides, I expect it'll be quite good.
Yes JP, I thought you were - over the weeks then the months and then the years I've noticed that you post links from the blog website on the same day that I've seen them too, since it's one of the first ports of call whenever I log on to the superannuated machine every day.

Two more things:

(1) Yes, you must;

(2) Yes, it is  ;)

Good interview here too:

Seconded.

I particularly liked what he said about theologians and what they 'know'!!

Sorry Jeremy, yes he does call himself a scientist.  Of course he is one.

We do not have to be in Germany to know that you and Jeremy are no scientists and are in no position to say who is one.
I dp have a degree in maths.
Then how come you have not noticed that antitheists are deficient in the penis department by one?

😳 ??? :o

They won't be breeding then 😜
Well, half of them won't...
