      Good question. If God exsists and did make the world, it’s possible he was just hanging around in the galaxy or even the wider universe. But I think it’s more likely that the world was created through another process called the Big Bang.

      This is one of the main arguments used by people who don’t believe in God. If we are using God to explain the existence of the world, then who made God? Was it another, even better God? Well who made that one then? … and so on!! The argument says that you can’t explain one complex thing (the world) by saying that it was created by an even more complex thing (a God capable of making the world), otherwise all you’re doing is replacing one improbable thing (the existence of the world) by an even more improbable thing (the existance of a God clever enough to create the world).

      Probably Sainsbury’s – they tend to have a wider variety of stock than Tesco (around here anyway), and the one near me is quite near a church, so you’d expect it to cater for that sort of thing.

      Yes, my local Sainsbury’s also has a wider variety of stock then Tesco’s so David must be right.
