An Ayrshire Blog: Lorry overturns and crashes on A70

"A Man's a Man for all that!" - Rabbie Burns

"Religion? No thanks. I prefer not to outsource my brainwashing."

Trying to get your average Joe creationist to understand the phrase scientific theory is as hard as getting a fish to enjoy mountaineering. Its an unimagined world for them - it requires a complete reversal of their normal modes of thinking and being. The fact that humans could explain the complexities of this world without a creating God is a world view they cannot grasp. It's like asking a tuna if it appreciates the view from the top of Mount Everest.

Lorry overturns and crashes on A70

There was an accident on the A70 today which I came upon as I was travelling to work.

The accident appeared to involve a lorry which had overturned on what is a bad bend on this road. The A70 is fairly well used by lorries as there is an opencast nearby and also a freight depot not far from where this accident occurred. I dont know if anyone was hurt in the accident as I simply took these two pictures and then turned around so that I could find another route. If the driver of the lorry wasn't hurt then he is a very lucky man. The accident happened not far from Glespin. Usually I dont have my camera with me but I did this time as I had decided to start taking pics of some of the scenery on my route to work. More of which later.
