I like that this thred is so long and all, and that it got some views out of some normally quiet posters. It is interesting to see the post desolve into arguments and sway away for the topic - I know I'm guilty of that, sometimes, but no one is asking why it is an issue. We all have free will and the right to think anyway we want, without reprocussions.

Is there a possibility that these two schools of thought will ever come together? It does in quantum but that does not allow for us to be petty about who's right or wrong and who we serve by alligening up to one side or the other.

Every culture has a story of the beginning and all of those stories hint to a time before. But how can we rectyfy 6,000 and 60,000,000 years old?
