even the usually ultra conservative hardline Roman Catholic Church had no problem with being descended from monkeys and flatworms whatsoever (the Pope just recently flatly rejected ID on wholesale level just out of interest) - because to them God is so great as to transcend mere mortals understanding - who knows why he did it the way he did it? He created the whole universe supposedly? why would he do that? just to accomondate one little planet? so we have something to look at through our telescopes? why couldnt he of intended the outcome the way science thinks it happened - I am not so un-openminded as to not think that is a possibilty of all the possibilties

All that works is science.Science cant yet explain love lust greed and all the other good things let alone the sins.
How I handle GOD is by thinking of two ants crossing the carpet in the lounge room and one ant says to the other I know how that television works and from now on you should listen to me. They do not have the wherewithall and niether do we.So I'll stick to something simple like science.
One thing the Christian Brothers taught me was a healthy disrespect for any authority.
