Addendum

Damn, I hope that that didn't sound as if I was an apologist for "orthodox thinking". Clearly, I'm not. In fact, all I was really trying to do was look at the facts/ probabilities and ask myself, "hmmm, let's see, literal interpretation of the bible or evolution, which of these interpretations is a tad more plausible?" That's all. Ha, of course, the fact that I'm a relatively open-minded individual (not a lot of dogma residing in this fellow, baby!), neither, either, was it a particularly difficult quandary - threats of eternal damnation, notwithstanding!!!
