Mary Shelley referred to the evolution theories of Erasmus Darwin (Charles' grandfather) in her preface to the 1818 publication of Frankenstein.

See. You don't need to know any biology to participate on these threads. ;)

Thanks. It is a bit overwhelming at times. Part of the challenge for me is that I'm more of the literary type. It's difficult for me to wrap my brain around all the scientific details. Questions, however, usually aren't a problem, as I'm also the philosophical type. It's understanding the answers that takes some "contemplating".

OkeeDokee. Ya think that I'll get hammered when I post Bible verses that support evolution? There was a thread a couple of days ago in which some YEC were posting verses to support their point of view. I read the verses and saw something completely different, and in some cases, my interpretation was even more literal than theirs. I don't wish to insult them though. I wish to be respectful of their view, because in reality, for those of us who believe God did it, none of us can say, with absolute certainty, how.
