[hijack] One also has to realize that the Bible has been translated many, many times, and it is very difficult to translate word-for-word. Neither the Hebrew Scriptures or the Christian Scriptures were originally in English, so things can be lost in translation. A woman in a few of my classes a few years ago is very Christian and would get into debates with the prof, who is Jewish. The prof told her (and the rest of the class) that (for example) the Hebrew version of Genesis said that God took a side of Adam while in English, He took one of Adam's ribs. Now, I have not read Genesis in Hebrew, nor can I read Hebrew, so I wouldn't know. [/hijack]
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program
