Now that we have answered your question, please attempt to answer mine.

Is the Christian Bible LITERAL truth or do the early books, at least, contain myth and legend? Fundamentalism fails if the Bible is not literally true. So, you need to logically defend that.

Please, we try to answer your questions, take a shot at one of ours.

Is the Tower of Babel a myth? Can't prove it, but it sure smells like one. You can't get to Heaven by building a tower (The writer of the story seems to think it would be possible and God had to take action to prevent success.).

Which leads us to: Why did God bother to confound the languages? The project was doomed by Physics already in place. Thus, it is likely a myth of the form of, "How the Leopard Got its Spots."

The whole story rests on the false assumption that it would be possible to build a tower to Heaven and God had to take action to prevent success. Show us your argument for this alleged true story. We are waiting.

The rest of the universe is governed by a set of consistent, rational laws that allow the universe to run on full automatic. Why would God design biology to work different and require constant hands-on-control.

Creationists have a weak, stupid god that built a universe that requires constant tweaking. Their god is a poor engineer. It makes more sense that biology would work like the rest of the universe, self correcting, self regulating, and self modifying. Thus, His creatures can change as their environment changes. That is all evolution is, the plants and animals adapting to their changing environment (That is glorious!).

Evolution is an extremely elegant solution to life on a planet with a changing environment. Only a Master Engineer could come up with such an elegant solution for a self-correcting system. The Creationists severely limit God's intelligence and engineering ability by saying He had to sit and create everything by hand when the whole system is automated. Seems disrespectful.

How to defend Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: (I am almost afraid to post this. His defense team could do it and it might work.) Mohammed did not do it. September 11, 2001 was a conspiracy by the Bush Administration. The defense team would put 9/11 conspiracy theorists that have “proof” of the inside job on the stand with their proof. This would expose the theorists to cross examination and require that they present a complete, rational, plausible explanation for 9/11 that does not include 19 fanatical Islamists, high-jacking 4 airliners, and flying them into buildings. If they don’t do it is pretty good proof that the conspiracy theories cannot stand up to the rules of evidence and the theorists are full of crap. Or, the defense team is also in on the conspiracy and won’t put on the best defense, “My client is innocent. He did not do it and I can prove who did.”
