"The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;" (Proverbs 31:25). "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise;" (Proverbs 6:5). I won't quote biblical evidence for the existence of people, I am sure you can find some. Why should we trust in the evidence of our own senses, when we can find it all in THE BIBLE? -- "Men never do evil so cheerfully and so completely as when they do so from religious conviction." -- Blaise Pascal Bill Jefferys 8-% Astronomy Dept, University of Texas, Austin TX 78712 (USnail) {allegra,ihnp4}!{ut-sally,noao}!utastro!bill (uucp) bill%utastro.UTEXAS@ut-sally.ARPA (ARPANET)
