Thusfar I'm agreeing with the heathens. As per Bingo's explication, I think the method isn't the important part.

For a religious teaching to make sense to me, I need there to be a historical or natural basis. But like Duracell (except for the aliens and simulated reality part), I'm ready to be surprised. And Leonardo, I'm glad you don't believe that God doesn't exist. And to your point about simplification, that's something that gets to me about descriptions of dinosaurs as reptiles. There is speculation they might have been warm-blooded, that birds descended from them, etc. I think it's a hasty conclusion to call them "reptiles." Maybe it would be fair to call them "reptilian" based on what we know.
