Well, maybe not the specific argument originally suggested, but something reasonably close ... I am not too sure of the original source, though I know it was Henry Morris who wrote it. I believe it went something like this: "... the informed Christian is well aware that the evidence presented in the Bible out weighs any scientific theory or data ... As for the age of the earth, and other conflicts, since He was the author, He COULD have made it that way ..." This is a rough quotation from memory. If anyone knows of the exact quotation, please post it. By the way, what happened to the original topic? ___________________________________________________________________________ Live long and prosper. Keebler { hua@cmu-cs-gandalf.arpa }
