I honestly would rather be eaten alive by dingos and Quinn feels the same.<BR/><BR/>Although I am a Christian, I am of the belief, like you, that the world might be a tad bit older than 6000 years...Big Bang baby all the way! We teach evolution at our house right alongside "Let there be light!". As a marine biologist there is just no way I can ignore evolution.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790787955193833733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38495401.post-80784178886798936492008-04-24T18:00:00.000-07:002008-04-24T18:00:00.000-07:00@protectedstatic You are forever full of good info...@protectedstatic You are forever full of good information.
