Steve? Buddy? Did you have any idea your original "Creation" post was going 
to go in this direction? I wanted to thank you for the info on Creation. It 
really does look wonderful.

When I taught school at Fort Worth Christian Elementary, two of my favorite 
videos were Veggie Tales and The Doughnut Man. I see you're involved in both 
of them. Good Job!
