Letter from Michael Roll to Lord Avebury, December 10, 1999

10th December 1999

Dear Lord Avebury,

Your letter dated 7th December gives great hope to all those fighting for a philosophical balance in Great Britain. You sure hit the nail on the head when you say, "It isn't only religious education that should be examined critically".

In the 1980's I made a determined effort to find a rational scientific explanation to explain why our ignorant ancestors invented all these dangerous and divisive religions in the first place. What has been uncovered not only put the fear of Christ up the religionists, it forced powerful pseudo-scientists to join forces with the priests in a desperate effort to censor all uncomfortable discoveries in subatomic physics. The most dramatic consequence of this was when Professor Stephen Hawking actually went to Rome to see the Pope!

You will see from the enclosed letter from Professor Abdus Salam - the 1979 Nobel Laureate for Physics - that he was excommunicated from Islam by the priests in Pakistan. People think the Holy Inquisition finished in the 17th century with the persecution of Galileo. Nothing could be further from the truth, Ronald Pearson is getting the same treatment from the British establishment as Professor Salam received in Pakistan.

Yours sincerely

Michael Roll
