$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('seldom_seen', 'I') would be interested to hear how creationists interpret information like this?


Creationists don't interpret anything. They just read the Bible and believe it word for word.

It was an honest question, I wasn't trying to antagonize anyone. However, I edited it from my original post so that it is not misinterpreted as gassing a fire.
