Bob what do you actually know of anthropology?

If your faith can tolerate it I suggest you read The Masks of God (all three books- primitive mythology, occidental and oriental), by Joseph Cambell. It is not just non-believers who would disagree with you- lots of believers would disagree with you too. I suspect, reading your posts, that you have no inkling of the repetitive themes involved in all the world religions- virgin birth, resurrection, deluge, brother killing brother- I think perhaps you would be more tolerant of others (you too Emile) if you broadened your horizons a bit. I read your book without fear- can you read mine?

<< And it is a fact that evolution had to be invented to alleviate the torment of the non-believing in society. A intellectual refuge from God. >>

Man, it's a good thing that you told me I was tormented. I didn't realize that I was. I don't think that the scientists invented recent finds such as clear evidence of feathers on a recent dinosaur. If you happened to stumble across such a find I feel sure you would turn your head the other way.
