Dave: "Actually Pete I don't think that ancient men and women were ignoramuses, and I believe that they were bright enough to distinguish myth and allegory from a literal account." I guess that's why you believe in evolution...because, as you said, "...and I BELIEVE* that they were bright enough to distinguish myth and allegory from a literal account." * "I BELIEVE (there is that nasty word again, 'BELIEVE', as in the exercising of 'faith'}.... So, let me get this straight, according to you...we have evolved to a higher level.....but you 'BELIEVE' that ancient men and women were NOT 'ignoramuses'....but the higher evolution of mankind produced the ignoramuses????....."who aren't bright enough to distinguish myth and allegory from a literal account." What the hell are you arguing about?..to to whom??....one of those 'higher evolved' life forms who are not "bright enough to distinguish myth and allegory from a literal account."?????????? Maybe you didn't understand it.....and a lot MORE!! GfS P.S ...and he agrees with Bill D about convolution!!..except his own!!
