Ahhh the good ol' days.
To put things in perspective a bit, Hypographians decided to create the Theology section a couple years back when we experienced a spate of postings on creationism (the pig) and intelligent design (the lipstick for the pig) as a result of efforts in Kansas to mandate their teaching as science. Texas now's got the same ol' pig and lipstick show goin' and all the props & costumes we have already in our Hypographic vaults.

Well, the Old Testamnet actually
does have some verifiable time elements, as well as some verifiable characters. It's not what the devout want to hear though I'll wager. I recommend watching the program I reported on in another thread with this post:
