What language was this "written word and its demonstrated accuracy" written in?
What do you think? Do kids need the idea of heaven?

Consider, for example, Psalm 22. It was written about 800 to 900 years before the Romans invented crucifixion. Yet, it detailed and explained what happened on the cross.
Have fun.

Apocalypse . . .um . . .SOON said:REW--I know we havew a fight to start, but too many (seemingly) random events have occured for me to settle and think. So I must wait.
But I will throw the gauntlet down formally:
I was originally upset about your behavior: You said "I'll prey for you." The inference I drew from that is the possibility of you killing me, tearing the flesh from my bones and then eating me. Not a pleasant experience. Whereas I was thinking about a church for you to attend.
I now stand at the ready to smite you!!!!!! !
So at this time I would like to inform you that it is time to amend one of my statements. I believe I said that 'I could prattle on about this stuff untill I dropped dead." I would like to add "but probably longer" at this time. Consider yourself warned.

Apocalypse . . .um . . .SOON said:The DW and visited New Orleans for a week a few years ago. Spent most of our time in The French Quarter. We often got some real 'wiffs" while walking around. Now, whenever I smell somthing similar, I tell the wife "It sure smells like France around here." Enjoy your 'partial bit' of foriegn travel; may I suggest a visit to the septic for a serious trip adventure? Unless you've been there, done that. Then just stay home and worry about the Saints.

Apocalypse . . .um . . .SOON said:To my knowledge entropy is a concept that defines the process of the breakdown of matter, both inorganic and organic.
Structure implies intelligence at work. But entropy is always increasing in the universe.
You're talking about Chico (Velveeta capital of the World) aren't you ....Boy he got alot of mileage out of that. His column and Charles McCabe's were the first ones I read every morning. I miss reading him also. There is an excruciatingly bad columnist here in the Twin Cities that makes me realize how good he was...ex-Jarhead said:Herb Caen...visited the University near our home for a lecture about 20 years ago. When he got back and wrote his column, he stated that town is the type of town that carries Velveeta Cheese in the gourmet section at the markets.
The Chamber and a lot of locals were pretty upset, and it was a long running feud (actually, a good natured feud for a long time.
About a year before he died, he wrote another column, and said he had paid another visit to the University town, and by golly, they have the Velveeta Cheese exactly where it's suppossed to be.
I really miss his column.
