I would suspect that you hold David Hume in a higher regard than I do King James.

[/ QUOTE ]I never really understood alot of things that other people seem to get. For instance this whole freewill vs determinism thing. I just don't get it. So much has been writen and so much time has been spent on in. And it seems the answer is really simple. There are some aspects of human nature that are deterministic and some aspects that are freewill. But people insist that there is some sort of contradiction. I don't see it. Genesis pretty much spells out the order in which evolution took place. I never really saw an important contradiction in the bible with evolution, of course the ammount of time it took I did see a contradiction, but people insist that there is a contradiction. Chance and Order, yet people, er NotReady, insists that there is a contradiction.

King James vs David Hume, clearly I don't get it.

But I will say that you probably hold King James higher than I do David Hume. Not that I think the distinction is an important one, or even a useful one.
