had a conversation with a friend last nite. we were drinking a bottle of wine and religion came up. i think she mentioned it first. a very devout christian, and animated, and still intelligent. she takes the good book literally. talking about noah's ark: two by two, duplicates of all the animals (actually she went on to say 7 pairs, equalling 14 of each). i explained, hey lady the problem i got with that sort of belief is that there were a lot of other people around as life progressed and expanded that never had their story told. what we've got here in the old and new books is a partial recording and even those are parables. i have never read any of it from cover to cover, never had to go to church growing up (Fidel frowned upon it for some time), so my opinion is just that. its based on my own experience with life. she nodded as i spoke and agreed that i had a point. "because there was a period after the ark where things skip ahead to the grapes being ready for harvest, so a couple year gap or something....huh, yeah i don't know about that".....she said. i don't know either. we ahd a good time travelling through versions of history though. hell fire adam's rib, the Sin oozing out in the form of a chick. beautiful imaginations in this life.
