Ron Well, *that* is exactly the point! Genesis is very clear about what he did create and what he didn't... And it doesn't say he created planets around the other stars, and it says he created life on earth.. All it mentions of an extraterrestrial nature is the stars, sun, and moon, supposedly set in the "firmament" of the heavens.. So while we are at it, just what is this "firmament of the heavens"? Is that the body that the sun is "stuck" to? rofl! This is what thay call and "argument from silence" which in any critical study, biblical or otherwise, is a fallicy. The fact that something is never mentioned proves only that it is not discusses and cannot be construed as "proof" that is does not exist. The same principle applies not only to biblical studies but to philosopgy, literature, law, etc. Therefore this argument holds no water. Ron Ahhh, so what you are saying is, that there is so much more to life than what is covered in the bible? That must be what the catholic priests tell the choir boys? First, that is not what I am saying AT ALL. What I am saying is that just because the Bible is silent on a subject does not necessarily mean that the subject does not exist. It doesn't mean it does either. It can only prove that it doesn't speak to it. The Bible never mentions dinosaurs either, and some say this proves they never existed. Most of us, however--even myself as a theological conservative--know this is rediculous. Of course they existed, and we have the fossil records to prove they existed. The fact that the Bible is silent here only proves that the Bible is silent, not that they did not exist. Second, I'm not Catholic, but I don't think that bit of "humor" would be appreciated by most, Catholic or otherwise.

But my 6 year old son, who is deaf by the way, can sit with me for hours and watch the Stooges. He even imitates Curly and has figured out the sounds he makes. My daughter doesn't understand what's so funny with them. It's a male right and religion to understand, imitate, and love The 3 Stooges to the dispare of the women folk.
