News ArchivesA wind turbine in Lincolnshire has had a 65ft-long blade mysteriously wrecked (report, January 8).

How can it be, they lament, that despite the absence of any evidence for the central tenets of Christianity, despite the enormous progress of science in explaining the origins of the Earth and its inhabitants, that so many people continue to believe pre-Enlightenment gobbledegook?
