To me, it sounds like he was joking/being sarcastic. Besides you don't know what the context was. It may have been part of a longer discussion.

BTW- A few thoughts about Creationsim being unsound. Is there any evidence for evolution? There aren't any evidences of inter-species change. All we have are tiny speciations and mutations that may or may not change a species. There should be tons of fossil evidence. There isn't.

BTW2- Myth actually is evidence for Intelligent Design and a flood. Every racial and religious group has had a creation myth and flood one. Usually myths are based in fact and since it occured so much throughout the Earth it probably is based in fact.

BTW3( the last)- def. of science. The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena. According to this Creationism/intelligent design is science.

Wrong on all counts. This is just a small part of the fossil evidence--there are tens of thousands of additional specimens.

You criticize science for lack of evidence then you espouse a global flood and claim it is based in fact?

For a start, here is a decent overview of the flood evidence (or lack thereof): Problems with a Global Flood, Second Edition, by Mark Isaak.

If you want more, let me know. But first, you have to specify the date of the flood. Do you accept 2304 BC -- Answers in Genesis (+/- 11 years)?

Heck, orginally (to age 40) and supposely at the end of his life Darwin had a strong faith in God and was sort of an IDer when he created his evolution theory. He believed that God created life and helped guide the evolutionairy process by the playing out of natural law. Evolution to him was always the explanation of "what happens" not the "why it happens."
