It would discredit ***his***, and pretty much the view of all of the 
people like him, on the subject. In any case, they are the ones claiming 
that proving that there where not X number of imaginary "kinds" on a 
non-existent Ark, and all the other gibberish in there, would rob their 
pathetic little lives of all hope and purpose.

Kind of like to know though.. If, as he claims, the whole Adam and Eve 
thing was the first "marriage", by which all others are based, where did 
I miss the ceremony and exchange of vows in there, and what where they 
exactly? lol
