In all lies there lies truth. My personal feelings on it (which are based on nothing more then my own meandering thoughts and drug flashbacks) is that the acients (which include those who wrote the bible,the koran and all that other religious bric-a-brac) knew SOMETHING and that thing was true. They were just not totally sure what it is. We in this postmodern world of ours also have these feelings. Some more then others. The point is, the earth DID have a begining and it WILL have an end. We of course can not say when that end will be or how it will come. Humans (wether some want to admit it or not) are very spiritual. There IS things going on around us that can not be explain through science. Of course 90% of that what we think is this is not. Wow, I just reread that last sentance. That is close to the most confusing thing I have ever said. My point is that the majority of things that are spiritual in nature (ESP, Aliens,Wolf boy,seeing into the future) are in fact more of cases of mistaken identity and what then anything else. However I also think there cases of truth in some of them. Normally only part of it is true and typically the person who had the experiences can't figure out what WAS true and what it ment. My point comes down to this, the bible was written by a number of very spirtual (albeit possibly misguided) men. I find it very probable that at some point in that they DID hit on some truths. Or, as has allready been implied, its also possible that they were just educated and had a good understanding of the world around them. They knew that war had always been part of our history and probably safely assumed it would be for years to come. Its allready been pointed out that most of what has been said about Operation desert freedom (thats what it was called right? I forget allready) could be said about just about any miltary operation and definitely most wars.

He finally beat death in a best 34 out of 67 match. At that time he could ask for any one thing and he could wish for the hope of all mankind... he looked death right in the eye and said ... "I would like about three fiddy"
