I think that I've got enough responses...
PinkHaired Mudokon CWR, I am not saying that all fundamentalists are that way, but I was just giving a scale for responses. Like a scale between 1 and 10, and That's what I gave you. 1 and 10. Not, 1 or 10, but somewhere between. I'm sorry if I implied that everyone was one or the other. Because they're not.
Anyways, I was thinking of some more indepth theories on Evolution, and here's my view (please don't hurt me!).
I think that how we evolved from primordial slime is true. As with the dinos. And I also belive that the Big Bang really happenned. (I know that it doesn't say this, but I think that the story before-Genisis should really be "And He said: "BANG!!!" and there was a bang...")
My theory is that the first generation of fully eveolved Homo-Sapiens popped up all over the world, and all of them were dubbed Adams and Eves. All majour religions that I know of have their own story of Adam and Eve, and each region never really had contact with each-other, so it really can't be reincarnations of the same story. However, God probably DID name them Adam and Eve, and we didn't all come from Adam and Eve, because there were lots of Adams and Eves, and other Homo-Sapiens popped up shortly thereafter.
Also, I think, no, KNOW that the Bible was passed around by mere word of mouth for thousands of years, and in at least 2 or more languages. And the fact that people wrote their own portrations(sp?) of The Bible, that it is not entirely correct in some aspects, since humans are imperfect. I don't care if you really ARE a princess or not, you're not any more perfect than him or her, or even I.
In the end, God and Jesus did (or, rather DO) exist, but the story of them was badly told by some possibly exaggerated people about 5 or 6 generations after it really happenned.
I think that the Big Bang, Evolution, Jesus rising from the dead, and Dinosaurs really happenned, and I see no reason for these stories to not coexist.
At least, that's what I think.
