That is an amazing display Falco. Some awsome stuff in there too.

Dont get me wrong , Im Buddist. So I Dont pray , and I dont attend church.
However I do believe the storys of the bible are truth based , as Bwolf said.

And I think the Vatican holds many facts away from the people of the world. Simply because the church is still the ultimate power in the world and a Billion dollar business to boot.
Though somewhat off-topic , there was a film called Stigmata that touched on some of the truths about christ based religions.
If your not familliar with the film , it deals with a athiest that is stricken with the wounds of christ. But with all good movies there is a sub-plot.
The sub-plot is more relevant to our discussion.....It states that Jesus wrote a chapter for the bible as well as the followers had.
Which I think would be quite possible. And in his chapter he stated.....You need not go to church to find me , you will find me in your self.
Now of corse this is ficticious. However it is a good point.
Why would someone like Jesus , want you to be in church? Or would he ask that you kneel and pray to him?
This contradicts what the bible tells us of him. And that is why I think the Vatican has things to hide.

Now the events of record that are stated in the bible cannot be ignored. They are supported with fact. The great flood is recorded in Asian history and in Egyptian history. The Egyptians have secrets themselves and will not agree , however the Archeological evidence is still present.

But its Geneses that causes the most problems. This is the point where science and relgion cannot agree. And I must favor science here. I simply cannot concieve a 7 day creation. Nor the whole Eve thing.

As far as evolution , I think most intelligent Religions will follow that. We simply are not the same species we were 3000 years ago. With of corse exeption to the Genises part.
