Now I've bookdmarked it as a place I can find thoughtful people discussing things for which they do not necessarily have an answer, but who find their minds unzipped simply in the discussing.Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130691153006885137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011314028160236945.post-59486684952085067862007-12-08T16:33:00.000-05:002007-12-08T16:33:00.000-05:00Not a scholar but more probably a 'target' of thes...Not a scholar but more probably a 'target' of these blogs.

Here's my answer from a personal experience:<BR/><BR/>My wife bought a small potted plant at a nursery and brought it home. She handed me a somewhat larger terra cotta pot and asked me to fill it with dirt from our garden, which I did. I put it on the workbench and excavated a small hole in the center to accommodate the root ball of the small plant. During my efforts to dress the larger pot's soil around the base of the plant, a beetle carcass turned up. Here's where my "Aha!" experience came in. That beetle never walked on my "Earth" after it was created, but was contained in some of the material from another world (our garden).<BR/><BR/>Suppose the dinosaurs and other extinct animals were created and lived on other worlds, and those worlds died out. Further suppose those animal remains were part of the rocks and soil when those dead worlds were recycled and used to build our planet 10,000 years ago. Those monstrous beings never walked this earth but there they are, packed in the layers upon layers of rocks and dirt that comprise the crust of our Earth.<BR/><BR/>I can only imagine the conversations in heaven as they observe the efforts of the archaeologists: "Look! They found the bones of one of those funny-looking things from Planet X - you remember, the one hit by that comet..." <BR/><BR/>Well, it COULD have happened that way!<BR/><BR/>Yours in Christ,<BR/>BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011314028160236945.post-49549677962499349272007-12-06T09:18:00.000-05:002007-12-06T09:18:00.000-05:00One quote of Albert Einstein's I remember from lon...One quote of Albert Einstein's I remember from long ago, which sounds a lot like the library analogy, is:<BR/><BR/>"The more I delve into the mysteries of the universe, then more convinced I am that some power or influence has placed it there for our discovery."<BR/><BR/>(I hope I remembered it correctly.)<BR/>I like the new look of the blog!<BR/><BR/>Yours in Christ,<BR/>BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011314028160236945.post-77045249716253709922007-12-06T06:12:00.000-05:002007-12-06T06:12:00.000-05:00Tiger, good to hear from you!
