tia-could you tell me what the links are that you posit between apes and men?.interested pete.

gfs-i think "replenish"occuring in the kin g james bible did not mean what it does now.i prefer the KJV but more recent versions translate from the hebrew without the "re"prefix to "fill"
some people believed in a gap theory,partly as a misreading of their of that word,and wanting to incorporate long ages to appease "science";a futile exercise IMO.

To the mockers-i dont know anyone testifying to a sky fairy.no shortage of believers in God though
a dishonest analogy,i suggest.
