Re: [asa] The Fall (humanity source of suffering)

How about if, instead of "undoing" the past, the new heavens and the new
earth are a sort of parallel universe or different "brane" in which those
events never happened? And how about if the present universe we inhabit is
a sort of parellel universe or different brane than the one first inhabited
by "Adam?" What if the "flood" was a collision of branes and the "heavens
rolling up like a scroll" at the return of Christ is another collision of
branes? Well, old Bill Ockham can have a field day with his razor, anyway.
(BTW, I hereby claim copyright so that I can publish my planned Christian
science fiction series, "Prolept Ahead").
