Any idiot can say "two of all types of animal? Thats Unpossible!"

Locke.

EDIT: I'm sorry, I dont mean to call you an idiot I mean only to provide another point of view to your argument.

No offence but any idiot can ... stop thinking and simply take what people say metaphorically.

My point is that generations ago (not too many) people who thought literally tried to prove emperically that the earth was round. People didn't listen and the scientists or anyone who cared about facts wereostrisized or in extreme cases killed. The mentality seeming to be, we don't want to hear the truth, we have a need to worship and take thing 'metaphorically'. Now we all laugh at the concept that the earth is round.

One day we will all laugh at the concept of creation. When science and religion butt heads, my nickle is on the science.
