How would a "prophet" describe a helicopter to a bunch of farmers who can only define wood from metal, for instance. They had NOTHING in their lexicon to do that. If you go to some of the "primitive" tribes in Sarawak and tell them you flew there in an "Iron Bird", they would ask "What's iron?" Get the point? Creationism is the biggest load of codswallop ever devised by the "intelligentsia" of the modern world, who refuse to believe that nothing existed until 6000 years ago, despite the fact that cities 9000 years and older have been discovered under the Indian Ocean - which means almost the whole of human history has to be re-written. Oh yes - these flat-earthers also have their own accredited scientists to back up their claims.

Yeah a 6-pack of CORONAS and a couple more of the Philippine's FINEST--San Miguel Beer. That's what CINCO de MAYO celebration is for and forget science/intelligent science ...for a while. However, my one year old granddaughter is visiting and I'm gonna try to PRETEND TO celebrate less. I've been celebrating this ever since I came to this GREAT COUNTRY 49 yrs ago and I ain't gonna stop now. But NOT with beer without the 'spirits'. HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO. ” Ditto”, Dave.
