imaginary best friends

anyone who gets metro and reads the letters page will no doubt have seen Billy Watkiss’s statement ‘who’s got the best imaginary friend?’ in reference to religion. This has sparked a lot of religious debate including a reply by Sandeep Shah who claims that god must exist because she thinks the world does not look like ‘the result of a random explosion’ and Mr Naughtie who thinks god exists because ‘it is aerodynamically impossible for bumble bees to fly’.

Well I have seen bumble bees fly and I can think of nothing more random than the landscapes of the 5 continents and so feel it could result from a random explosion. I have not however seen god in any shape or form from any of the religions around the world. Let’s face it imaginary friends are for kids.
