why bother? they hardly talk about animals at all, and when they do it was animals that were relevant to modern day humans since most of these 'revelations' were 'revealed' under some sense of urgency and persecution on the part of the respective Prophets. ... in that case, God ought to mention the entire 4.5 billion years before humanity on Earth. or 11-13 billion years since the Big Bang (which is interpreted from some descriptions in the Bible/Koran/etc. already)

Noble-Ire: that is the correct response. that is Bin Laden's idealogy for instance. however, if you took a poll most Americans would believe Muslims qualify in the same manner. why exclude Atheists from the same idealogical treatment that are given to Muslims (or even Communists against whom many Americans still hold similar grudges). its great that a lot of us on teh intarweb are 'enlightened' but the world isn't that way. turn on your TV.

mastersitsu: "secular humanist atheism" coincidentally paved the way for all these 'cults' to come into power. i like how you threw the humanist in there, that's pretty much a flat out lie. better term: "secular CAPITALIST atheism."
