   Um. I'm as religious as many, although in a different direction. But I
stop short of believing that the exercise of free will has an effect on
plate tectonics.

   Even if you're going to go for the view that the Bible is literally,
factually true*, then the Earth was created BEFORE Adam. How could Adam's
actions have an effect on the way the Earth works?

   Drew.
