Well, considering the usual translation of the beginning of the Old Testament is "In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth ...", that's quite a distortion! ;-) The "In the beginning was the Word" bit is from John. :-) -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'. Everyone's just a big dork or nerd, you just have to find people who are dorky the same way you are." - overheard ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
