To the science-deniers on this thread, let me just relate a little story -- and you probably won't believe it anyway, cause science is all nonsense:
Recently, a Canadian woman was kept alive for 6 days WITHOUT HER LUNGS, which had to be removed because they were so diseased, while she was awaiting a transplant donor. While she waited without breathing for 6 entire days, a donor was found, and new lungs were transplanted. She is now alive, and happily hugging her daughter.
Through most of my life, such a thing would have been utterly impossible. My life -- not all of history, just my little life. And yet, this is something that science has accomplished. Maybe you don't like science. Maybe you think she should have been left to die and her daughter orphaned if that's they way your God wanted it, but human science would not. And she's alive today.
You despise science for one reason, and one reason only -- it seems to deny your literalist notion of creation 6600 years ago. And it does that for a very good reason. That "history" is complete and utter rubbish.
