    I agree (and thanks for adding to the discussion).

    I find the ICR very creepy, myself.

    My objection, however, was "your anti-supernatural" bias. The Bible
    (as we all know) states that God warned Noah. If (and maybe I
    misinterpret) the flood was a purely natural event, why the
    need "for a big honkin':) ark?
