Deometry. Funny sick.

I wonder if the Romans came to believe - literally - in Zeus as the Empire crumbled.

Hie thee to a vomitorium.

The same stuff you guys usually only get to see on special pay channels in the Homeland. You are of course exporting this kind of "creationism" to bring democracy and freedom to the rest of the world! Now that's what I call "intelligent design" ! ;-) I guess this explains why - for the past 25 years or so - we’ve been able to watch American porn for free on Dutch television.

I don't see the problem between believing in Christ's divinity, if one does, and Darwin and if memory serves, even the Pope - or, at least, the recently deceased one - agrees with that. It has occurred to me that perhaps a large part of the problem is that the general public, in discussing Darwin's THEORY of evolution, understands the word "theory" as it is used in everyday conversation to mean conjecture, speculation, even guess. In science, the word theory has a different and specific definition: "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses."
