Well, Willie, as I said, I'm a fairly strict Darwinist Catholic. I think that God is somehow in the essence of creation - or perhaps is the essence of creation - and that creation took place through the wonderful, miraculous, natural process of evolution.
I don't see the biblical creation story as historic, scientific, or anthropological truth. Nonetheless, I love the story and see profound truth in the story on many levels.

Intelligent design? Well, maybe....but I certainly wouldn't insist on that. But I'm with Don Firth on this one.

"And God saw that it was good." I wish we all could see the goodness that surrounds us, whether or not we attribute it to a god.

We need to have that pint....or three.

Addendum. This thread hasn't talked about music for a number of days, so I think it's time to move it down to the non-music section.
