a house BTW.

OK why is the statement in the Bible going against it - there obviously
must be something wrong with it for such a statement to be made.

focus correctly and operate more efficiently. There is nothing wrong
with religion - it gives people a conscience - the difference between
right and wrong which people forget these days - either that or believe
the entire universe just appeared from nowhere - I have no opinion on
the evolution/big bang subject.
