Though, taking the kinship term and applying it to evolution just brings a whole slew of problems into the mix, I will take a leap and ask you what relationship would Neandertals have with humans? Or how about the fact that humans have a strong evolutionary relationship with chimpanzees? Dna sequencing has shown about a 98% similarity between human and chimpanzee DNA. In fact, we are more closely related to the african ape than either of us (human, ape) is to the orangutan, and champanzees are more closely related to humans than either of us to the gorillas. In fact, our DNA is more similar with the great apes, than many other species of animals are with related species of the SAME animals. So, with great care in restating that "cousins" is the wroooong term to use at least in my opinion, I will take a leap and say that the apes ARE our cousins, at least from an evolutionary viewpoint. Please don't confuse that with the kinship term.

Re: The Science of the Bible
.......I think any five year old knows the sun is the source of day light.
I am highly dubious of your claim that any 5 yr. old understands that the sun is the source of light. If you were to ask a child of that age "Why is it daylight?" they would probably not understand the question. It is daylight outside because it is light. In fact it is obvious from the bible that the author did not understand the relationship that daylight had with the sun. If they did they would not have stated that God created "light" THEN later he created the sun.

Re: The Science of the Bible
teach me to come out and actually post something...
It has a sorta surrealistic quality to it. Like chasing a phantom.
