"Christian Orthodoxy"? Unless you're referring to the Orthodox churches (of which I know little), orthodoxy for most protestants is purely Biblical, and a combination of Bible and the Pope for Catholics, and in neither of those sources can I find any hint that subcreation is the purpose of Humanity. -- "It has been postulated that, given an infinite number of monkeys bashing away at an infinite number of keyboards, we could eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.
