In case you didn’t notice, let me state the obvious. This question has,been posted in the Social section rather than in General. Therefore a slight tangent is not unwarranted as part of the overall discussion, according to the clearly printed Fluther Guidelines. You can check them if you need a refresher.
The. Q as worded, presupposes an Adam so discussing the implications of that are certainly not out of line.
And considering the subject matter, this is one of the more cordial and less volatile threads on the whole subject of religion, evolution, God etc. that Fluther has seen in quite a while so I see nothing wrong with it at all and obviously the Mods feel likewise.
Its in Social. Relax and enjoy the discussion. Time enough to cavil in General :)
