Dear Rawn, Once again, thanks for your illuminating comments. If anyone needs me, they can find me back at the drawing board :) Dan --- Rawn Clark <rawnclark@...> wrote: --------------------------------- Dear Dan, >> However, as an economist, I rarely let the facts get in the way of a good conclusion ;) << ;-) No wonder that our economy is in such a mess! ;-) >> However, it is interesting to note that light is the only thing in Gen 1 that is not created - 'G-d said "let there be light" and there was light' (whereas everything else is explicilty noted as being created). << Again, I suggest you take a much closer look at Genesis One. The word translated into English as "created" is very specific. The only instances where Elohim "created" are: 1) "the heavens and earth" (1:1) 2) "the sea-monsters, creatures that creep, and fowl" (1:21) 3) "man in His own image" (1:27) 4) "male and female created He them" (1:27) You might find this link helpful: http://www.ABardonCompanion.com/Path1.html My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 12 Aug 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe Yahoo!
