Fascinating.I love this thread.
I would like to add that the Torah or the Books of Moses,the first five in the old testament were the verbal histories of the nomadic Israelites.Being nomads they had no written language of thier own.The histories were passed down from generation to generation and memorized.They where first written much later during the rein of Solomon.This is further proved by the way the different tribes remembered the old stories.Check the first couple of chapters of Genesis.Almost the same story twice .Why?Two of the tribes didn't agree so both were included.
Would the recent discovery of the Bonobo point to chimpanzees still evolving. I saw on discovery Chimpanzees forming hunting parties and hunting monkeys for food.

Yeah, i heard about that, too and that is a HUGE point to evolution. The chimps weren't really making hunting parties per say but working to gether to get food, a giant leap for chimp kind.
FYI: We are one of the only countries in the modern world left where the majority of citizens don't believe in evolution. {b]80%[/b] of all Europeans belive in evolution. Only 30% of American believe in evolution.

Uh oh... this thread again ^^
But yes... you can't possibly deny evolution... it's occurring all around us very slowly, but noticeably. The chimps are a good example. But other creatures are doing the same.

You can't deny the bible either. C.S. lewis tried to and actually became a christian because there was just so much evidence supporting it.
That's why there's so much detail of the surroundings and everything in the bible. God had them write that so others would believe it..
although.. I'm not going to go on and on with this thread.. again.. ^^
