My take on your comment was that the monkey had met the dinosaur (metaphor for God) in it's mind (believing the myth). My "ya think?" was in appreciation of the suggestion to entertain the idea that monkeys would/could conceptualize (as we do) the idea of God.

Haha. That would assume far much more intellect than I'm capable of. I'm far too simpler a thinker to conceptualise to that extent. I'm more of a "thought grenade" sort of person. I know that it makes sense to me when I throw it in, without giving enough thought about whether others might.

It was a little dig toward Billy Bob and the Young Earth Creationism brigade. Yeah I know not very subtle
