I wonder where I would fit in with this argument. I personally voted #3 on the list. I see evidence for both stellar and biological evolution all around us. This universe we inhabit is approximately 15 billion years old that started with the Big Bang and the planet we live on has been around some 4.5 billion years. The dinosaurs died out with the K-T event approximately 65 million years ago. What truly amazes me is the tremendous effort that is expended to try and reconcile this information with a literal interpretation of Genesis.

Yeah... I don't get it either. Especially considering that there isn't a conflict at all with evolution and Genesis as long as you are aware of the actual meaning of Genesis. (the day versus period of time situation) Sadly, a lot of uneducated folks have never been told by their minister that the King James Bible was translated poorly from the Greek texts. I just don't understand why those who claim to be devout havn't bother to read up on the history of the Bible and discover this item on their own.

I am quite comfortable with choice #2. Today's translations lack the emotion and flavor of the original Greek, but basically I think the fundamentals remain. It is difficult to cloud the translation of a verse such as, "I and the Father are One" (John 10:30).
