On the Lighter Side

A couple of things to think about. In the book of Isaiah, chapter 40 verse 22 it says "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth… He stretches out the heavens like a canopy". Now of all the words Isaiah could have used instead of circle and stretches, did he just by chance get it right about the round earth and expanding universe in 700 B.C, was Isaiah a super smart scientist or was there something else (divine inspiration) behind his choosing these words. In Genesis Chapter 2 when God made Adam, He created him in the wilderness, out of dust, and then planted a garden to place him in. He then used something better than dust to make woman in the garden. Man created in the wilderness - hunter, woman created in the garden - gatherer. Man - wilderness rough and tumble. Woman - garden soft and nurturing. A little Venus and Mars going on here? Now when God created life, the forms of life continued to get higher and higher as He went. Could this mean that woman is the highest form of creation? Also, I would love to have seen the look on Adams face when he first saw Eve. Vince

If Isaiah called it a circle, not a sphere, then he missed a little dimension there. Not exactly inspiring I'm afraid. A canopy doesn't exactly cover much either.

I saw a good saying somewhere - Men are from Earth, Women are from Earth. Deal with it!

Cheers!

Sweet the coming on
Of grateful evening mild; then silent night
With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.
