"we are both that much closer to God"

Thanks, I certainly feel a lot closer to God now after years of reading, and studying not only religious writings but also of the wonders of his creation. I never was able to make sense of the bible thumping preaching during my childhood.

I asked my Grandmother once, "Why would God need a rib from Adam to make Eve"? She almost had a heart attack! :-)

I can certainly appreciate her reaction, for my Dad had a similar reaction upon learning that I believe in theistic evolution. It has taken years, but we've reached a resolution in that belief or disbelief in a literal six days of Creation is not a point of Salvation.
