Dear Roeme, >> The following statement on page 174 of ' A Bardon Companion' states that " Much time and intellect has been wasted trying to specify which part of the original creation occurred first, second, third, etc.". Are you referring to Darwin's theory of evolution and Big Bang theory by the scientists? << No, not at all. I'm referring to religious dogmatists who have written volumes upon volumes of theories about the sequence of the "original" Creation. If you look at the context of that statement, you'll see that I'm discussing the eternal, non-sequential nature of The Creation and saying that one must be cautious in thinking of it in terms that imply sequence. Darwin's and the Big Bang theories both concern only a small drop of water in the temporal ocean of The Creation. They do not deal with The Creation itself. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 21 Jul 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
