And how does your theory go? Of course, God -> Dirt -> Man -> Rib -> Woman. This explains why, in the fundamentalist mythology, we're all as low as the dirt, except for women, who may be even lower.

The difference being, Christianity allows for the supernatural and unexplainable - the natural world doesn't.

Well, the natural world certainly does allow for the unexplained. I agree with you, though: christianity is a very poor fit with the natural world. That's one reason among many to discard it.

This must come as a great relief to any christians who either cannot or will not comprehend anything more complex than "goddidit".

Interesting choice of words there, SLD

Yeah, all those thunder storms and that lightning stuff, definitely the work of a supernatural entity. And as for wind, well we all know it's the breath of God, don't we? And what about all those mentally disturbed people out there - yawned a bit too wide and let demons jump into their mouths. Silly ignorant people. Didn't they know you can get possessed that way??? And, please, Magus, be careful before you go on holiday this year, we don't want you travelling too far and dropping off the edge of the world. Anyway, must go, I've not been feeling too well lately. If only I could remember where I put those leeches...

nah, I think I read something like that on a cryptozoology website. But I never imagined the Biblical Leviathon to be like "Kraken".
