Finally I gave up, convinced that yet again you guys were just awesomely well-read, and I could but sit back and admire.

Well, I was thinking much the same. Perhaps not that they were more well-read, but that they are "differently-read" to anything that I happen to read -- which tends to have to do almost entirely with natural history, species accounts, environmental survey reports, and the like. No God or Jesus to be found anywhere in those -- well, perhaps in some pre-Darwinian species accounts. <g>

Now I learn that it was a typo.

Ah.. but isn't that a case in point of how easily the meaning of "documents" can be changed by one teensy-weensy typo -- the addition of a "g" where one should not have been? Documents are full of such things, and the more times they are transcribed or transliterated, the more they generally contain, until the original meaning becomes something of a source for discussion and debate.

I shall leave matters having to do with the spiritual world to others. My own concerns are more mundane -- counting birds, clams, fish and insects and trying to figure out what they are, where they've been, where they're going, and why there are getting to be more or less.
