Thanks RAZD. I actually appreciate you helping me form a groundwork here to start from. So far I have to agree, though, that the Methusalah tree could have withstood the flood. But I'll look at the other links. I have to get ready for bed...but I'll be back : ) I do believe in the first science of evolution as stated. Obviously there is truth to it to a point at the very least.

My daughter is actually on her way back to Idaho from California where her and her husband worked this summer and visited some of the parks there with the sequoia's, etc. (I assume this is one of those...)

You really don't believe a flood happened??
