I have some detail knowledge of how my ancestors came to Britain.
When the Romans pulled out of Britain, since the Roman empire was on it's way out. The island was left largely undefended. So the Saxons invaded from the north from Scandinavia. Long way really, from north Germany, to Scandinavia and then to Britain. Settled here for a good few hundred years. Go back a thousand years or two and I'll be in north Germany. Mothers blood is Norman, which Normans came over during the Norman invasion. 1066.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
