February 2013 marked the forth annual Think Week — a week of high profile public events that ran from the 8th to the18th February. Think Week was organized by student groups from both local Universities, the Oxford Humanists and Oxford Sea of Faith. Events covered a range of themes from science and philosophy to politics, equality, human rights, and the arts.

Their term ‘evolutionist’..

There is not such thing as an ‘evolutionist’.
There are those who understand evolution, and those who do not.

Technology exists.
Some people understand it, some people don’t.
Imagine if the people who didn’t understand technology called everyone else ‘technologists’ and said that the real reason we can communicate using radio waves is because God created cell phones 6 years ago using magical powers.
That is how stupid you sound.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they took up believing this crap too.
