Just wanted to point something out.

I tried to load the page last night but it wouldn't so i'm looking at it for the first time now.

It says:

"The Bible tells us that God created Adam and Eve just a few thousand years ago, by some fundamentalist interpretations."

What I was taught is that the stories in the Bible are not to be taken literally. The story of Adam and Eve is supposed to be an explanation to the way it happened, not how it happened.

Don't take this and me as a religious freak, because i'm not. I went to a catholic so I learnt a lot about this stuff. Just something to think about. A lot of people take the thing in the bible literally, when they shouldn't. If you take everything literally, you could find something wrong in every story. Like WTF? A talking snake etc. They are only meant to give an idea.
