Well, I'm glad you wrote that, and clarified what you meant. If ever I do go Jesus-freak, I won't go ignorant on you (like I guess pascals wager, idk who that is though). If I did, what it would be is I would have an overflow of joy and want to share my faith with everyone around me. If ever that did happen and it made you uncomfortable yeah you would have to tell me, like when the guy touched my elbow I was uncomfortable. :) But in general I am very discrete about it, which is the right way to go. I really like your two last questions. What I did, to remain neutral, was to describe what geological history would be like if the words of the bible were taken literally. To remain neutral, I pushed aside as much as I could the aspect of whether I believed what I was saying or not, so you could get the most theological and neutral perspective on the matter. So, yeah it would be answer 1: "assume the bible was literally true for the sake of the article". I appreciate your courtesy. Onus is on me to be able to have more intelligent conversations with you, I really wish I could get across to you last time but I think I didn't express myself properly, and you needed to give your friend some attention.

And I appreciate your elbow ;) Let's continue the convosation! But how about we keep it on a small scale so e aren't presenting a few different arguments at once, I tend to do that :S
What's your stance on Noahs Ark? Do you think it literally happened? Do you think the story is based on a local flood? I'll be glad to talk to you about this, or Adam and Eve etc. Just something specific would be cool :D
