     Phil's language gets more putrid the worse he is losing an argument.
He must be losing this one pretty bad.  Did you ever hear of Hammurabi,
Phil?  Way pre-Koran, pre-Dark Ages, pre-Greek & Roman culture.

     My failure to be precise.  The alphabet, invented in Phonecia 
from where it traveled to Greece.

     I didn't say "Modern Chemistry" or "Physical Chemistry" or 
"molecular chemistry."  I said "chemistry."  You  know, the stuff
you need before you can develop a theory of valences and 
periodicity.  What substances react with which others under what
conditions and with which results.

     Care to respond to any of the above?  Usually you just cut
out what you can't answer--you must be getting careless.  By the
way, how is your reading of the Talmud going?
