KOLLER "One cannot prove that which is miraculous"? Why the hell is the thread concerning the evidence for the virgin birth still going on? I'm not disagreeing with your statement Matt, but I think you have just put your foot in your mouth. Now I know you are going to reply saying that you didn't really mean it like it sounded, and other such excuses. The fact is, the internal inconsistency (albeit probably subconscious) has led to this foot-in-mouth problem. -- ===================================================================== Michael Koller, B.S.
