How do you know? As far as anyone can tell, the Bible was written by
humans. If I claim that this posting was inspired by G-d, would you
believe me? What if I could prove that it was over 5000 years old?

>Why is gold precious and and desired by everyone?

Because it's a good conductor?

>Because it is rare and not had by everyone.

Darn, I didn't think of that. Would you like some plutonium, Ray? It
fits the same bill.

Thankyou for sharing your value judgements with the net, Ray. Would you
like to know mine? They're not printed in the Bible! ...I thought not.
Things would be so simple if we just looked up the answers in the Bible.
Nobody would ever have to hear heretical words like "physics",
"astronomy", "sociology" or "religious freedom" again.

Why do you think freedom of thought is so precious and desired by
everyone?

Because it makes every single human important. I can think and feel and
do what I want... I'm sorry it angers your diety.
