As well as to decide which parallels are significant and which are not in terms of the particular argument one is making. For example, the "God made the universe" parallel would be significant if one were arguing that evolutionary theory disproved the idea that God was behind the creation of the universe. If you were arguing that "God made the universe" was a rejection of the scientific understanding, on the other hand, you'd need to distinguish between systems of thought that felt "God made the universe" trumped evolutionary theory and systems that have no difficulty coexisting with it. ------------------------ Yahoo!
