Thanks for your insights. I don't buy into creationism, but I don't see science as the only way to view the world. I think it is a tool and not the answer to everything. I think I am spiritual for the most part. As an aside, I knew the brother of a famous Australian anatomist (Raymond Dart), who discovered Australopithecus, named James Dart, who was a chemist and he was a creationist. I always thought that was wild, the two are brothers and one is a creationist and one an evolutionist.
