Don's church's outlook on life seems to be to look at the world as it is and say God did it. Far different to saying the world must be wrong because it doesn't fit into biblical theories.

We seem to be hard wired to have some form of faith. I assume it comes from the Darwinian notion of altruism, as exhibited by any species in one form or another. Our somewhat advanced notion of awareness and ease of communication inevitably leads to group agreement of such matters, or religion as we call it.

The problems stem from the notion that "if I am right, others must be wrong, so I must impress my ideas on them." Don describes a creed comfortable in its own skin.

Fair play to you.
