[Vision2020] Origin of the Bible<BR>> <BR>> From the Skeptic's
Dictionary Newsletter 76.<BR>> <BR>> Story too long to copy here, but it
ends thus:<BR>> <BR>> What, you may wonder, is so important about how
long a female wasp <BR>> spider copulates? The longer the copulation time,
the greater the <BR>> chance of fertilization of her eggs.<BR>> <BR>>
For some reason, this story reminds me of a line a student wrote in a <BR>>
paper for my philosophy of religion class some thirty years ago. I <BR>>
remember it as if it were yesterday. "The Bible," he wrote, "is not a <BR>>
single book. It is the copulation of many books."<BR>> <BR>>
