Good for you BunnyGirl. I can’t say I was ever a bible literalist on creation but I was under a lot of pressre but the Baptists and an uncle who has always been a mentor of mine. I think I still have one of his Emmanuel Velikovsky books. Good luck with your husband. Maybe he can be enlightened too. ---

Thanks, all. **Poly** , yeah, I was going to recommend that to him. I just bookmarked it yesterday. Only problem is our computer access is from work only and he’s usually too busy to surf, but never hurts to suggest! **tracer** , yeah, I get what you mean, but she meant the “sci-fi” comment in the manner of “they never existed, it’s just archeaolgists trying to refute God” or some such. Hubby was raised in a **very** strict, devoted fundamentalist home. Even more so than mine. His father is a big proponent of Chick tracts, if that gives you any clue. Not that I see the evolution/creationism debate as a big issue. I mean, he has opinions, I have opinions. Just because he doesn’t believe the same as I do doesn’t make him any less the wonderful man that he is. Onward and upward! 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/something-i-dont-understand-about-teaching-creationism/58829.md?page=4)
