Actually, my wife took the course before the internet was popular. I just (miss)used "googled" for fun and since it's supposed to be a new word. Her prof's info was from his own research and began with simple things like Moses parting the Red Sea - when it was really a long-term weather event.

The point is, things have been interpreted and reinterpreted countless times. Ever play post office? You can't even whisper something to 10 people around a table and have it come out the same at the end. Everyone puts their own slant as it goes.

Reminds me of politics. Those in power slowly shift things to their way of thinking or to meet their needs. Like what is going on right now with Irag and WMD. Christianity and politics were so intertwined for so many years it isn't even funny. That's how the catholic church became so strong as a political entity.
