"Jesus did not believe what you call "the demon theory of illness" and he did not believe in any "primitive superstitions" so I am not denying Jesus in the least" You ARE denying Him because He DID believe that Demons caused epilepsy and other such illnesses. The bible is loaded with examples of these primitive superstitions. For you to claim that Jesus did not believe that this epilepsy was caused by a Demon when His "cure" is to cast the Demon out...well you are just becoming nonsensical, aren't you? MATTHEW "17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour."

the primitive superstition of spontaneous generation of life. You might want to update yourself a little bit on scientific cosmological theory and process. Generally the creation must reach back to the formation of the first hydrogen/helium giants (stars) , that preceded all other stellar bodies to follow , just after the big bang. In these extremely short lived stellar giants you have the first fusions of heavier elements and rare earths and gasses forming which are the precursors to all that follows , including "Life".... These first stars formed approximately 14 billion years ago, so it could be argued that the formation of life which depended on the creation of such a soup of elements directs back to those first Helium/Hydrogen giants . There are many sites that discuss cosmological genesis , here's one : helios.gsfc.nasa.gov Hardly-------> "Spontaneous" , and no superstition, and quite beautiful to think of , arousing curiosity , even by so many earthly metaphors. How did your garden grow again ? regards ;-) M
