I'm not about to get into a religious argument with you. If you choose to offer commentary on matters with which you are not familiar, stick to the facts, you'll do much better in the long term.

>>However, your addition to theology of the UFO travel was what I was objecting to. Nowhere to my knowledge does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints teach that Jesus flew there in any kind of machine. So please, just stick to the facts, if you are able to.

>The only fact I am aware of from those times is that maybe Egyptians from were somehow able to procure cocain. Cocain only grows in south america - yet forensic investigations of Mummies from those times found traces of cocain in cadavers. The "coke" traces could be the result of a degradation of someother "local" substance, like "lilies".

>But we don't know if or how ancient egypt indulged in drug trade with the Americas - an objective view would say probably not.

>So if the fact is that the J-guy did travel to the America's (a Kon Tiki technology) then he did get there. The J-guy was an Egyptian. Moses, as you may be aware, was Ethiopian - he looked nothing like "Chuck" Heston:-)

>But, if you're trying to suggest as fact that some "heavenly" or "etheral" transport got him there - then I would argue that a flying saucer is just as likely.
>
>If you are doing that, then you are suggesting a "theological fantasy" as a fact has a basis in truth while denying an equally plausible "SCI-FI fantasy" as "only" a myth.
>
>Both are myths. Only in these times do men give themselves to subjective indulgences that allow a fact to emerge from a basket of myths.

>The big guy views all men with equal distain or pleasure, regardless of the myths they use to comfort their short fearful lives.

>you can quote me:-)
