Dear Laurel,

I'm going to say this as nicely as I can... The reference to, "Around 500,000 years later, Homo foodieus evolved,,," is very incorrect. The earth is just under 6,000 years old and man was created, not evolved. I realize that you'll think me to be a creten, although that doesn't really trouble me. My credentials go back to 1969, when I became the youngest member of the St. Louis Astronomical Society, ever. I am also a Christian and I believe what's written in the Holy Bible. I spent considerable time and energy researching escatology, the study of the end times. Yes, our planet won't be around in it's current form, for very much longer. Even an atheist can see the convergence of forces, in Middle East. Don't be a worshipper of "IF," as if isn't much help, when it's time to face God. You can start by accepting the fact of God's existance, then begin reading the Holy Bible. I think that you'd like the NIV, version (New Interantional Version). It's the greatest adventure you'll ever take and you'll learn that God is very real, very forgiving and even has a sense of humor! Good fortune (you don't need luck, since you are a gifted writer) and may you survive the upheaval at AOL. AOL/Huffington Post isn't nearly as good as AOL once was, buy you in particular have a chance of changing that! Keep on writing and if you get a chance to freelance and associate your name with other journals, please do so. You are bigger than AOL, but I wouldn't quit... I mean, we all have to pay the bills. Trust in God, and see how much bigger and better our world is, when you know it's Creator.

Best wishes,

Michael Sanders
