  many people here have expressed faith in evolution and in other theories—but in all honesty, do you have any hope whatsoever in your heart or in the back of your mind ?

  truthfully..

  I’m saying it’s miraculous that matter, life, and consciousness should have arisen at all

  Maybe it will turn out to be as incredible as a rock falling down a hill. The only sensible answer at this point is to admit we don't know.

  whether you like or loathe the guy, agree or disagree, surely he has a right to express his opinions freely on twitter?.

  every bbc employee who appears on tv or speaks on the radio, should now be paranoid about any opinions they've put on their social media accounts, because if the bbc are prepared to censor/silence lineker, they'll go for anyone.. oops: looks like the bbc can dictate what their staff can & can't say in their social media accounts.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguidelines/guidance/individual-use-of-social-media.

  pity they weren't as strict with their high profile paedophile, mr. savile..

  The BBC needs to address the bias in its current affairs reporting.

  The anti-Brexit stance was embarrassing. It's total failure to challenge the narrative during COVID was shameful. The entire organisation is an echo chamber.

  All the staff, in front of and behind the cameras, are from the same middle class background and graduated the same university indoctrination mills.

  Imagine your own boss telling you that he'll sack you if you ever say anything which praises the Tory Party on your Facebook page!!! Human rights, freedom of thought & speech?

  The difference is that the BBC isn't a normal employer. Literally every UK citizen who owns a TV set is obliged by law to pay Linekar's wages.

  cofty could you answer how the single cell came about by chance?.

  i know the argument for complexity in nature says natural selection over billions of years but this could not explain the complexity of the single cell the building blocks of life?.

  I jut want to highlight this important paragraph that TD wrote above...

  'An analogy is a useful rhetorical device to illustrate a concept once it has been positively established, but it is not proof in and of itself. People who compare molecular interactions to heat engines and other metallic machinery or polypeptide chains to linguistics are at best, selling you snake oil and at worst, don't actually understand what they're talking about.'

  I literally have not got a clue what your question is.

  Are you asking where the entire cosmos came from?

  Or where life originated?

  Or how the first cell formed?

  I offered to discuss evolution with you. Would you be so bad mannered in real life?

  There are also others who are not journalists or involved in factual programming who nevertheless have an additional responsibility to the BBC because of their profile on the BBC. We expect these individuals to avoid taking sides on party political issues or political controversies and to take care when addressing public policy matters.

  If your work requires you to maintain your impartiality, don’t express a personal opinion on matters of public policy, politics, or ‘controversial subjects’

  Do not reveal how you vote or express support for any political party.

  Do not express a view on any policy which is a matter of current political debate or on a matter of public policy, political or industrial controversy, or any other ‘controversial subject’.

  Avoid ‘virtue signalling’ – retweets, likes or joining online campaigns to indicate a personal view, no matter how apparently worthy the cause

  Breach of this Guidance may lead to disciplinary action for employees in line with standard disciplinary procedures; this could include possible termination of employment in serious circumstances. For contractors who are found to have breached the Guidance there may be consequences including non-renewal or termination of contract.
