My point was to highlight the holes in evolution theory which changes dates
from year to year as to when man 'evolved' enough to be 'smart' and use
rocks to chip rocks and develop tools. Since the 60's we have gone from
30,000 to 2,500,000 years. Hardly a minor adjustment. Moreover, every
time that some civilation is unearthed, it shows that man had some pretty
good and advanced methods. Maybe they didn't fly around but they should
could carry stones and balance them better than we can do today.

I remember just this week watching some DP scientists speaking on ways to
capture data and keep it for a thousand years. The best method: ceramic
based storage. Does cuneiform ring any bells.

And no, a preacher didn't tell me this. The beginning of wisdom is a
healthy respect of God and intelligence is the knowledge of The Almighty.
So I will say that I have found more smart preachers than wise scientists.

Well I'm glad that 'my scoup' was ahead of Leno's, but during lunch I was
watching CNN Headline news. During the broadcast they mentioned and had
some video. Today these news made half a page opposite to the editorial
page in Olympia's newspaper. I can scan it and send you a copy. Will you
like one ?
