I'm hung up on something regarding creationism however: the tectonic plates of our continents, evolution does seem to explain how their movement (1 inch per year) would progressively shift they way they do now, then again, I did happen to see something VERY interesting in these pictures: http://www.mtblanco.com/ForSale/2006/ICAStones.html

How is it with all the flood myths, all of the stories about serpents and dragons, and even drawings, of dinosaur-like creatures, the descriptions in the book of Job with "behemoth scales" gets all discarded as a fairy tale and myth?

Sure, evolution would be "more down to earth", but now that I see it's many theotrical fallacies it's also starting to make less and less sense as we get further into the future.

Armaggedon kiddies. :sigh:
I think that God can use time and evolution, too, but I can't put limits on power I barely know anything about- especially when I see that, scientifically, time would be relative to any being that understood and had the power to manipulate it from the dimension(s) that might pertain to having power over it. Time would be no problem and evolution instantaneous to the One who had power over it....
My objection to evolution is only that it may not be that everything evolved or even could evolve in certain environments. It seems the environment we inhabit actually causes degeneration and decay - entropy, instead of large scale evolution. Some evolutionary characeristics are born into all creatures, like their immune systems I can tell you about that one, having had leukemia and born marrow transplant. So evolution works and is useful, but we, as man, perceive it from a relative oosition of powerlessness - like we do in so many other things.
Dinosaurs place in history might surprise us someday, once fully revealed. All these so-called myths from nearly all ancient records and cultures about dragons and other giant beasts may be accurate accounts instead of myth. ??

The ICA stones are an admitted and evidenced hoax. They are fakes meant to be sold for economic gain.

As for all the requests on the creation question. This site lists them out exactly. The order of each creation is different in the two versions of the story.
http://www.holysmoke.org/bib-cre1.htm
This only indicates the various writings and thier styles.

Just like in Mathew, Mark, Luke & James you get various instances of the same story, with differing aspects of each, either ommitted or included at the eye-witness of the person invlolved.

Acts 22:15
For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
God speaks, to each of us, in a way we can individually comprehend, as well as collectively, under God-instituted leadership :)
