I have to agree. My career choice does not allow me to delve into this stuff as deeply as I would like to. People like Till (and many others on this list) as well as the many inerrantists who supply the opposition, make it so much easier for those of us who just can not seek such a depth of knowledge in these subjects. Those of you on the list who continue to hit these topics over and over for the benefit of people like us (wether skeptic or inerrantist) are greatly appreciated. :) -- aaron rainwater Come away oh human child To the waters and the wild With a faery hand in hand For the world's more full of weeping Than you can understand. -- Loreena McKennitt "Stolen Child"
