My apologies Anna...that's what I've been told by a Witness preacher (or whatever the pastors go by in that sect). I find it hard to listen to those who I find to be insane.

AZ...I can agree with that to a certain extent. I just don't think the modern ideas of what christianity (especially catholosism) is are in any way up to date. I think the reason people are turning away from organized religion is it's fundamental inability to change with the times. Take the whole recent scandal with priests and sexual molestation...they all but brushed it off in a general sense. Sure, they made statements that sound like they want to effect change, but their doctorines are all but meaningless. My own father left the catholic priesthood and married my mother after he found the church to be sorely lacking in modern ideas. As the saying goes, spirituality is when I believe what I want to believe...religion is when I try to push those beliefs on you. As for everything coming together the way it has...I don't know that 4 billion years is too little time to have gotten where we are. But hey...that's me.
