     For your information Ann, and since you have at least had the honesty to
    admit your relative ignorance of the Bible, there is absolutely nothing in
    Scripture that indicates that the world is only 5000 years old, or 6000, or
    any other age. Neither is there anything in the Bible that shuns personal
    responsibility for one's actions. "The devil made me do it" is purely a
    human copout, not Scriptural. As to all the unanswered questions of science,
    God has the answers, and has had for many years. You're just joning the
    scientists in looking in all the wrong places. Look up.
     God bless.

    OK - then if what you say is true in the last post - then answer a few
    questions on the subject......
    I have talked with countless people over the years from different religions
    (Christian) that will down right argue with you that the world is only 8 -
    9 thousand years old. How come? Where do they get this? The Bible does not
    state how old the earth is! They  argue that the earth/universe was made
    in 6 days too.
    Re: the Devil made me do it..... I couldn't tell you how many people I've
    heard say that one and not in jest either. Or that God put 'this' burden on
    me to test me - to make me a better person etc. etc. That list is a long
    one. With the concept of reincarnation, you are responsible for the position
    you are in whether it be a cripple,  mentally deranged or in perfect health.
    It is what you chose - the path is there for you to follow whether you do or
    not. Jesus is supposed to be our example to follow! Isn't He supposed to be
    your example also? -=*) ANN (*=-

    I log in and there's eight billion letters waiting for me! Thanks a lot,
    Cliff--now the [Z]ap key on my keyboard is broken. (It was only rated for a
    million letters.)

    So anyway, what's my prize?

    To everyone who sent mail, thanks. It's nice to see so many people are still
    around from the beginning. I've seen a lot of changes in the BBS world, and
    thankfully Apollo has seen the best changes while avoiding the worst.
    Hopefully, when I make my 10,000th log in around 1996, everyone will still
    be here.

    Thanks again!

            Today I started my first Advance Handgun course. I am very pleased
    with my shooting as I scored a 801 to qualify for a pin.  I have to do this
    two more times in a row after I declare I am shooting for the pin. If I
    should fail to gather a score that qualifies, I will go back to square one.
    This is one reason why he has the toughest course in the nation. The
    pressure is on......   Pray for me!

                  If you were not paying attention, I did graduate from the
    Intermediate Handgun course with honors.

                  I wish some of you Apollo users would be bold enough to try
    this course.  It is not for the pansy.
