Thinking back he might've been joking. Seems his kinda humour. But he's one of those where you never know

No argument dave's right he's always right

As all the others in the house are respectful of his beliefs, then I think Dave should be able to listen to another housemate discuss his beliefs on evolution.

The fact that Dave was unable to say to JJ2, well you are entitled to your opinion but I dont personally believe that makes me wonder why Dave was unwilling to discuss this further. Surely if he has built his life on this belief and he is certain beyond a shadow of a doubt then why not discuss it. In my opinion he knows that his beliefs do not stand up to scrutiny and therefore would rather just deny the argument exists and just bury his head deeper into the sand.

Dont get me wrong, I am more than happy for him to have his beliefs and to talk about them but I wouldnt put up with him completely disregarding mine because they questioned his.

I have yet to have a conversation with someone of any faith who can explain (with any conviction) how the earth is only a couple of thousand years old yet rock, fossils and whole eco systems have been carbon dated to millions of years in the past? How, if we as humans are made in God's image, how we can share DNA with closely related animals like chimpanzees and apes?

I am not belittiling anyones faith, I am of the opininon if you believe in some otherwordly deity who is going to listen to your problems, provide solutions etc and it gives you comfort then it is a good thing. When it totally dominates every aspect of your life and stops you questioning things, blindly accepting things because "it is written" then I believe it is dangerous. This kind of religious radicalism is how societies become marginalised and religious wars break out.

Nicely summed up!

However, I'm not convinced it's because he thinks his beliefs don't stand up but because he thinks they would not be popular with the majority of viewers/HMs. The word 'fake' is used too frequently in relation to BB but if it can be applied to others for minor matters then it should be levelled at Dave on this count.

I actually like religious people, better to believe in something then nothing I always say, but I don't like intolerant control freak cultists that employ grooming tecniques.


Saying that though, he has provided us with a lot to talk about this season, so I don't begrudge him his place in there right now.

It's over with people..no point in still going on about it.
