Not so, my esteemed Mr. Werner. I don't have a Bible handy for an exact quote, but the verse which says something like: "The earth was without form and void" could be *equally* *as* *well* translated from the original Hebrew as "The earth became a waste and a desolation." This comes right before the bit about the world being created in 6 days and nights, implying that God *RE*created the world in 6 days and nights after wiping out an older failed model. Everybody knows the earth is older than 5248 years. People who believe in evolution don't keep up with creationism. -- Laura Watson ...ihnp4!ddsw1!dino Contentment is the smother of invention.
