Dear Nicholas,
I am quite happy with Darwin's theory, okay happy is not the right word, maybe happy in my own ignorance of it, no, evolution is a bloody difficult subject to fully get your head around, and you are right, it is full of "why's".
No arguments from me old son, good health, mind and body are supremely important.

Hi Gonnagle...how refreshing.
The point about current evolution is, according to my understanding, that it happened a long time ago. It seems that the planet suffered a terrible calamity and became tidally locked for a period...not for too long though because it would have left an imprint but, it seems, that all life was lost or put into a state of limbo. When it was restored in the way Genesis tells us it was seed that was already in the earth that gave forth life and so there was a continuation, as if there had been no interruption...except it was now carrying a new species of human life.
The Holy Bible thus becomes accurate and Darwin is also a true-ish reflection of our past...but Jesus Christ was prepared to put his life on the stake to tell us how it all really worked by virtue of a special spiritual code built upon the foundation stone of all life.
