Ahh, thanks Glenn, in my complete ignorance of ID I had not realised that the Bible was meant to be interpreted literally.

There was a very interesting documentary I once saw in the UK, which seemed to reveal, through archaeological digs and scripts, that several of the Biblical events had also occurred in other civilisations which flourished not only before the era during which the Biblical events were deemed to have occurred, but also on different continents where there were no trade routes or connections (according to history).

The presenter suggested that these “stories” were somehow universal to all of man kind, and were a means whereby wise men of their time could convey messages to those interested, by using analogies or stories, much like we might read a fairy tale to a young child to illustrate why it is “good” to be honest.

Cheers

Dennis
