Don't you love Jesus?

Cor, blimey is Cockney for an expression of surprise. The origin is probably God, blind me. The saying "from the sublime to the ridiculous" is often corrupted to "from the sublime to the cor, blimey" in colloquial speech, to add emphasis to the ridiculous situation (such as this thread).

Of course, you have to know English to understand this, so I apologise to you non-English speakers who query the expression

either you don't get the joke, or you're taking it too far...

I get the joke, and know it well. I was just being facetious.

Trying to prove scientifically that God exists is like trying to prove theologically that the atom exists. You cannot....

Not even Betrand Russell could've put it better

Speaking of Russel, I still think this is a nice line by him:

If I were asked to prove that Zeus and Poseidon and Hera and the rest of the Olympians do not exist, I should be at a loss to find conclusive arguments.

I actually had to laugh when I first read it. It still makes me smile.

Allright, another thing: does it really states that bats are birds and insects have four legs?
