> Now in the scriptures that the Jews use, there reads that in the beginning, God in those scriptures {said}, let there be light. So the creation of light was by that God speaking, by the word, the logos of that god, the intelligence of that god. So in those scriptures, we see a creative god as starting a beginning that we know of now.

>Good point, Lou. I'm Jewish, though not religious. While I affiliate with Judaism, and believe in the religion, I can't say I know enough about any religion to believe in it as an absolute. Thankfully I can atone this Wednesday (and fast, as I do annually). So, other than putting my faith wholly in my religion, am I missing something here?
