Subject: RE: Thought for the Day (August 13)
Do you guys remember the Eric Idle song from the meaning of life?

Just remember that your're standing On a planet that's evolving, And revolving at 900 (?) miles and hour; That's orbiting at roughly 13,000 (?) miles a day, The sun that is the source of all our power. The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see Are moving at a million miles a day, In an outer spiral arm at fourteen thousand light years wide, Of the galaxy that we call the Milky Way!

Kinda puts it all in perspective. Try not to stress out too much about it. I personally have no problems believing in a loving Creator, who also happens to use the process of evolution to shape us into His/Her image. In fact, I will confess to needing to believe it. Like the Good Book says, In the beginning was the Word... and the Word was God. From the Greek, "logos," meaning word, and also meaning "law" and "logic". I always felt that God/Goddess was big enough to withstand my puny doubts. This little bit of legislation, will not change the Truth. Like the Man says, "the truth will out."

'T'ain't no big thing
