who is debating
...this is a debate between atheists and theists (and sometimes between theists)
You're comment about "sometimes between theists" doesn't really cover it. This is a debate between Biblical literalists and non-literalists (of all stripes). It is between those who think that religious ideas should be introduced into science classes and those, of all beliefs, who don't.
The non-literalists camp includes every type of belief from very devote believers (specifically Christians are included) to militant atheists and everyone in between. Here, in this forum, I would guess that the atheists/agnostic camp is greater in proportion than in the general population but the arguement is not split that way either here or in society as a whole.

Re: King James was a Poon
The main point is that there is a benevolent omnipotent God that sent himself as a man in the form of Jesus to die for our sins. That part hasn't been changed and that's the main point. So why sweat the small stuff?
Exactly!! With that message why would everone get in a knot over a flood or the age of the earth (which the Bible doesn't give) or the unfolding of life on the planet, which the Bible doesn't discuss.

insist?
It is for your own good. If you want to be taken seriously you have to project the best possible image.
Carelessness makes your thoughts look careless too.
(of course, listen to me, who makes at least one spelling mistake per post)
