Bible Note: You're most welcome, kelly_blue. There is so much said by the opening words of the Bible, in those 10 words of Genesis 1:1, that I would be hard pressed to offer in any other piece of world literature with which I am acquainted any other exhibit of writing that says so much in so few words. Those 10 words say more than the thousands that Darwin used to "explain it all" in his Origin of Species or the "answers to the universe" that all the philosophers from Plato to Nietzsche have proposed. --Hank |
