><>...Thanks Joe, for the friendly thought...><> It's against mine too. I am familiar with those preachers who carry a Bible, just so they can thump it? My Bible is too precious to thump....I teach and enlighten. What can be very dangerous Joe, is walking in darkness. Sincerely, Shalom...><>

btw...bible thumping is against my religion...it can be very dangerous...just a friendly thought for you THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Not only is it against your religion.... it can damage one's clear and honest thinking !! ________________________ So long as theologians keep within their proper bounds, science has no quarrel with them, for it is no more able to prove that they are wrong than they themselves are able to prove that they are right. But human experience shows that they never keep within their proper bounds voluntarily; they are always bulging over the line, and making a great uproar over things that they know nothing about. H L Mencken ______________ Consider the six days of Genesis as a figure of speech for what has in fact been 4 billion years. On this scale, one day equals something like six hundred and sixty-six million years, and thus, all day Monday and until Tuesday noon, creation was busy getting the world going. Life began Tuesday noon, and the beautiful organic wholeness of it developed over the next four days. At 4 pm Saturday, the big reptiles came on. Five hours later, when the redwoods appeared, there were no more big reptiles. At three minutes before midnight on the last day, man appeared. At one-fourth of a second before midnight, Christ arrived. At one-fortieth of a second before midnight, the Industrial Revolution began. We are surrounded with people who think that what we have been doing for that one-fortieth of a second can go on indefinitely. They are considered normal, but they are stark raving mad. - David Brower ________________________
