   ****** Your opinion of theism, makes no difference - in the fullness of time   
   everyone will meet the Creator!

   **** The fact that the greatest scientists, to their utter dismay, can't   
   breath life into a dead body or create a perfect animal and breath life into   
   it - is PROOF of a higher intelligence! ****   
      
   ** People who deny that there is a God, are not so convinced that no God   
   exists, but are using this denial as a crutch to get out of having to comply   
   with God's Law!**
