I'm not making this stuff up... there are books on "dispensationalism" one of which (I think it was called Seven Dispensations) I have trudged through. If you throw out the bit where they talk of the pope being the anti-christ, it's very interesting stuff. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482552275229203298.post-40800966267361768792008-04-22T11:13:00.000+09:302008-04-22T11:13:00.000+09:30Hmmm.

Or maybe it was empty if you didn't have a microscope. Which they didn't. Sorry Jessie. I'm being naughty :-)<BR/>And yes, it was GREAT spending that time with Dad. He's not much of a one for small talk so it's great to connect with him on his love of learning, which I inherited.Arizaphalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402602175460446158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482552275229203298.post-41069331016407199382008-04-22T11:10:00.000+09:302008-04-22T11:10:00.000+09:30Thanks for that walk through geological history! ...Thanks for that walk through geological history! One of my favorite courses in college was geology. We had a trip to a similar area with different ages shown in the rocks. Books can be dry but seeing it in person is so interesting. :)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464318343985100834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482552275229203298.post-87997235573639026762008-04-22T08:58:00.000+09:302008-04-22T08:58:00.000+09:30Very cool that you got to spend that time with you...Very cool that you got to spend that time with your dad and learn so much from him. I bet it made his day, too. Dad's always want their girls to be interested in their knowledge. :)<BR/><BR/>PS- As one of those who believes in a 7 day creation period, there is also the part of the verse that says "the earth was without form and void" it doesn't say it wasn't there yet. It also doesn't say there was never anything living on it before then. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482552275229203298.post-89117594149027322522008-04-21T12:27:00.000+09:302008-04-21T12:27:00.000+09:30Wow- that is amazing.
