Thank you all for the comments. I will make a topic posting in about two weeks because I suddenly have business out of State. Also I must have the administrators help me by suggesting the proper forum for my interests.
Just a bit more...
I have my own ideas regarding all the popular questions in the areas which are addressed at this site, developed through years of study. If asked to substantiate a point I will most likely not quote anything from any book, this includes any religious writtings as I consider them all to be equal in that they all are the works of man. This, of course, accounts for the many contradictions. I may sound arrogant and self-confident. I try not to be. Towards the end of this effort we will see that many pieces of the great puzzle are beginning to fit together, in a harmoneous whole. Well, I hope so. In any case I do believe there are answers available to everything. They have only to be discovered. Please remember that I do believe in intelligent design and that evolution dovetails with it perfectly. How could anything in God's Creation speak of less? I've learned to study religions but to be very careful about what I believe.
Please do not respond this final part of my introduction. I will be back in two weeks or so.
