Please read this http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/gen/1.html

It's two different world views, one is static and explains everything while being mostly unintelligible and prescriptive, the other is willing to change in accordance with the evidence and strives to explain that which is not understood.

We could go back and forth about creationism and natural selection but it would probably be to no avail. If you think people ran around with the dinosaurs or that fossils were put on the earth to test our faith then I don't really think we have any basis for conversation. This is basically the same discussion as weather the earth revolves around the sun in my eyes.

btw, I know what the shepherd does to the lamb, I have always found it to be the creepiest of analogies but pretty descriptive of the mindset of many Christians.
