C' Cat I'm really sorry that you didn't take the time to read my short and (I thought) amusing thesis clarifying what you are choosing to believe in blindfolded. It's really not that long and it might give you a laugh-or a thought.

For the sake of brevity I won't go beyond the scope of your comments except to quote Professor Dawkins. Dawkins concedes that life might indeed have a designer but that DESIGNER almost assuredly was a more highly evolved being from another planet, not “God.”

Conversely You said: "I said we could start life on another planet to use it for terra forming purposes during future SPACE COLONIZATION." Don't you see the difference? You are talking COLONIZATION, he is talking CREATING.

Re: COLONIZATION:
An interesting hypothesis, sounds good on the surface, impossible to do. To bring you into the ball park; light moves at a velocity of about 300,000 kilometers (km) each second. So in one year, it can travel about 10 trillion km. More precisely, ONE LIGHT YEAR is equal to 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers, or 5,903,026,321 Miles.

The NEAREST solar system that is similar to ours and MIGHT have a slim possibility of finding an inhabitable planet is 5,000 light years away or more earthy figures 2,951,531,605,000 miles. Yep, that's over two point nine five TRILLION MILES AWAY. Care to rethink this hypothesis?

UNICORNS:
Deuteronomy 33:17 in part
His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horn[S] are like the horn[s] of unicorns-
If one goes thru the various descriptions of unicorns in the old testament there are several references to the horn[S] being plural. It also comes to mind that mythical beasts may be being described, or possibly even what we call dinosaurs today. As to dragons, you may comfortably use dinosaurs or dragons interchangeably to describe them as the WORD DINOSAUR was not invented until the 1840s.
TALKING SNAKE:
As to your talking snake, the word snake does not appear in the KJV Bible. What you are talking about could be a dragon/dinosaur or other snakelike reptile. Or, more likely it could be a sly or treacherous person, esp. one who exploits a position of trust in order to betray it. I tend to believe the latter might be a more apt description as; Lucifer is described thus:
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the North:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the >MAN< that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

Note: Lucifer is reduced to the status of a man. Nowhere within the KJV Bible is he called a snake, talking or otherwise.

Re: EVOLUTION THEORY:
You said: "I'm sure you can find many mistakes in our evolution theory, we are merely guessing at this point."

You use the phrase: "our evolution theory." The word "our" indicating possession.
AS TO: "I'm sure you can find many mistakes in our evolution theory" is exactly the point of the film. There is NO DISCUSSION ALLOWED-PERIOD! It must be accepted as fact despite the fact that even Darwin had his doubts. Have you not been reading that school boards and judges are requiring Evolution be taught as fact and will not allow it being referenced to as a theory? Haven't newspapers arrived in South Carolina yet? LOL
