I once heard Gerald Schroeder, a biblical scientist, speak and he suggested an interesting interpretation on Genesis:
The six days of creation are rather six 'eras'. You can interpret the bible to be talking about the big bang and evolution (eg creation of light is creation of the energy that makes up the universe, seperation of land and sea is the forming of the cosmos, etc). This is a loose interpretation of course.
Continuing on from that he says that mankind evolved from the ape in such a way that two homonids were born that had 'mutated' into humans whilst their parents and families counted as neanderthals (or whatever). Thus humanity is evolved from those two - Adam and Eve. Of course there would have been interbreeding between the new humans and the pre-humans over the years but eventually the humans won out. Apparently there is some reference in Genesis to intelligent beings before Adam was created.
I'm not sure whether I agree with that theory myself, but I thought I'd throw it in anyway.
Neph, I question your statistic that most Lesbians choose that way of life. I'm not saying that it never happens - my brother was telling me a while back about someone he knew who chose lesbianism because she was a wacko feminist and thought no man was good enough for her - but I doubt that it is most.
