- Apparently Brian, you and I look at the word literal in two very
- different ways.

- Later in your post you say that A&E were possibly created while
- Stone Age man exhisted. Do you not believe that we are decended
- from these people? It's been shown for instance that the Stone
- Age people of Europe are the forfathers of today's Europeans.
-

- the ones who were "created?"
