Oh please. Really? When are we going to move away from literal translations of a book that has been edited a thousand times and was written by people with very little understanding of the world/universe around them?

Darwin figured it out, that's how. IMO of course.

Sorry if that came out strongly. I'm just so sick of the same rhetoric and mythology.

That's a more interesting take on the topic. I obviously don't believe a word of creationism, but I do believe God exists in some form and that God could have played a role in pushing things along to get where we are and where we are going.

Every major monotheistic religion seems to have a leader of some form. Buddha, Muhammad, Jesus. They may not agree on details, but they seem to teach people to be good to others, and to themselves. So to that, did Jesus really come from God, in the literal sense? Could have. Does it matter? Could we ever really know, for sure, in a scientific manner? Nope. I feel comfortable saying we will never know in that way.

For that matter, did he really die on the cross, and was resurrected? Who knows, we will never know for sure. Could he have not gone to heaven, but actually married Mary Magdalene and fathered what would later be the Merovingian dynasty? Again, who knows. It's out there, but could it be?*

*based on a hoax. I know. Just saying.
