Hey, Mar$. Glad not all the interesting people have vanished off SI. I think as long as these things are metaphors for the creation, then that is fine. As Cosmic as I am, I'm not trying to get my philosophy inserted into the public schools as metaphysical fact (that seems to be an oxymoron). The secular side of our world should dominate secular affairs. Since there is this broad pallet of wildly different stories of creation, these should remain in those domains dominated by the ecclesiastic - like churches. If people want to go to church and tithe 10% of their salary to hear one fantastic story in preference to another, far be it from me to interfere. You know what they say about a fool and his money being soon parted. <But what matter really , if the world was created 4,003 yrs ago at 9am in the morning , or 4Bilyrs ago ?> Certainly if you have a mining company, you'd expect your mining engineer to have a mindset that is consistent with a cogent theory.
