One more question, or observation, if you will. If actual origins are not consequential while how we live our lives is very important, how or why are you so dedicated, committed, to your version or understanding of the origins story?Because how we deal with Truth is important. One side of this debate spends all its time either frantically waving away the facts or waving away the logical, reasonable implications of the facts. Our side embraces the facts, and reason is our friend. Don't be afraid of facts and logic.

Good point. Sometimes it seems that those on the Creationist side are more intent on destroying scientific inquiry that on promoting religion. The same could be said for the Post-Modern-Deconstructionists (whose world view similar.)

Because how we deal with Truth is important. And "truth" to you is evidently what you say it is.

And thanks for the advice but I am not the least bit afraid of facts or logic which, I repeat, is precisely my problem with Evolution. All-in-all, however, and excepting the interpretive commentary, I would agree with the substance of your post. Glory be!
