I've really enjoyed the contributions to this thread. I knew we were all
reasonable adults and could work our our differences. But, the "f*ck you"
was not very adult (nor the "illogical" thinking comment). So, lets put both
comments aside and try to come from the center of our being where progress
is made--and not waste more breath on who was the most (or least) right (or
wrong). AND, isn't Eva a dear for being so willing (and I think able) to
carry her end of the bargain?'

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe,
the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes
on trying other things.
