True, but to split hairs, that's still saying that WE are making that claim, not god. The bible is full of references of God talking to someone through flaming landscaping and whatnot, and is generally considered the word of god. The Dec of Independence is the word of man. We humans wrote it, even if we give someone else credit, it's a concept we came up with as human beings. These truths are "self evident", meaning that they are obvious to us, not that god spoke to us and declared them via a frozen mud puddle or a talking goat. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:362412 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
