-- And Rain really does come from "doors" in the firmament, and there really are storehouses for snow up there. And giants, dragons, cocatrices, and satyrs really exist! And the Earth really IS flat, holding up the firmament on pillars, and being held up by pillars, and has seven corners. And worldwide global flood did occur, in 40 days no less (30.3FT /Hour). And All the saints really were reserected and marched through jerusalem despite the fact that no historian ever knew about it. And insects really do only have four legs. And some people really will believe any bullshit thats in a 'sacred' book. -- > Rationalists of previous centuries would have considered the Boeing 747 forbidden by physical law, or declared reports of heart transplants to be absurd superstition. Claims of supernatural events are the easy part of faith to get your head around, as history is full of things that appear supernatural from one perspective and explicable from another. The hard part of faith to get your head around is believing God exists. The rest is arguments over the details. > http://espn.go.com/page2/s/tmq/030701.html?030701.html _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
