G-whiz, ll that analysis for nothing, it was an olive leaf, rather than a branch. Which was made clear as it also was newly sprouted. I would be careful of this type of misrepresentation. Many would accuse you of being deceitful or would stamp you as a liar.
Go read the bible and tell me what it says. unless your reading your own made up fool Bible. In all my 16 years i have read 4 different bibles and they all state clearly(GEN. 8:11 that the Dove(birdie) brought back a OLIVE BRANCH. you must be crazy to say others are making a mistake when you make one yerself. Read your stuff clearly next time before you post it or you will have 16 year-olds telling you the truth. tami
