vel, while i can honestly admit that i've never understood how a "God" can die in order to save a group of civilian humans is beyond me. we're waxing into the mystical or meta-physical pretty quickly.

are we slaves to some God, and have to act accordingly in order to be saved?

whether the Earth was created in six man-day types, or some other numerical explanation, what difference does it make, pray tell. we still breathe air, live in subdivisions, ride the roads in cars that utilize gasoline for fuel, have jobs, and pay our mortages. what possible difference could it make if we were created in 6 days or 15 billion years. tommorrow the Sun will rise, and you'll be celebrating Memorial Day, right?
