[quote=Heroic] To set everything up to have everything, i.e. The world turning its back on him, to happen when he planned it to. Though I guess I'll need to rethink everything now. Including the fact that I now have nothing in common with my dad again... [/quote] I'm sure you have something. Pray about it, God will show you something in common and will help you to bond. God doesn't want us to be distant from our parents, or vice versa, and as such, He [i]will[/i] help you. I know it. Also, even though I'm not going to post my (now very long) argument, do note that it does show that all of Genesis is literal. If you need any help at all with thinking about any scientific ramifications, we'll be here to help you. I don't want you to go through the Christian life alone, and I know David doesn't either.
