GRAHAM Kennish has now taken up the defence of a spiritual world (the Steiner one) from where Richard House left off.

They seem to think it is okay to teach children that alternative ideas such as those of Rudolf Steiner are equally as valid as scientific theory, despite a complete lack of evidence.

Atheists do not have “a dogmatic belief that a spiritual world cannot exist,” as Mr Kennish asserted – we simply wait for the evidence for gods before we believe.

Does he have any such evidence, or does he consider the clairvoyant visions of the Austrian mystic to be sufficient?
