I did laugh when I read it the first time, and yes, i am socially
deficient, so I tend to make a lot of mistakes like that.

And what you were asking for was _one statement about reality in Genesis
that didn't conflict with science_. I provided you with one.

Turn up your sensitivity to irony, please.

I thought that calling the blatantly obvious "infinite wisdom"
should be a sufficient indicator of irony. Just to be safe,
I added a smiley. Apparently even that is not enough. What am
I supposed to do? Use <IRONY></IRONY> tags? Perhaps something
for the standardization people that are working on the next
HTML standard to think about..

In my not so humble opinion, I completely agree with you.
What amazes me is that you couldn't detect that.

I still think that Genesis is a source of <IRONY>infinite
wisdom</IRONY>.
