Kenny..good one..
Just about every creation myth... etc :) duh. It seems you know as much about the contemporary creation myths as we know about the 'current state of the debate' which according to you is very little. I find little in the epic of gilgamesh (the one usually described as 'close' to the biblical one) which can be construed as in any way fittable to the Scientific understanding. Gods chopping each other up.. feet becoming moon and head becoming the sun etc.. c'mon mate.. thats a bit of a stretch even for you.

U are most welcome to post uptodate links for me to peruse, as my interest in these matters is much stronger and more personal than how english is taught.
So, here I am... waiting.. LINKS LINKS LINKS :)

As an atheist who believes in gods, I tried to clarify my thoughts in a small article titled "The Science of Religion" which was published in the Summer 2004 edition of The Skeptic,vol 24 #4. I offer that reference as a contribution to the Forum.

thanx for that article. But your credibility will be much higher if you dont put 2 contradictory ideas in the one sentence :)

"Atheist...... who believes in gods"... I guess the articule will relate to us the deeper meaning eh :)
