Re: Wouldn't it invalidate...
I'm still confused as to why an alien landing should invalidate "a big part of the literal Bible". Unless you hold to a "if it's not in the Bible it doesn't exist" belief, I don't see the problem. Of course, it makes the theology much more interesting... I could regard some PNG tribes as being more isolated from Christ than a space-faring bunch of molluscs from alpha C. They've got more chance of catching a Billy Graham rally than the natives

I think they would try to convert them so they could be saved!!

Genesis 9:16-17
16 When the rainbow is in the cloud and I see it, I will remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind on the earth.
17 So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant that I established between me and all life on earth."
and - I thought Rainbows were naturally occuring by the refraction of light through waterdroplets.

I missed this comment first-time around:

I saw your Golden Path thread but was in the middle of A-level marking. I was too distressed by grade-inflation to comment
So you got your 20 minutes training off ed-excel?
(you know I was a school teacher,right? A-level classes are the jam for the teacher in the secondary school system!)

Ed-ahem-excel... no, O&C. I didn't realise you taught... would you care to know that as a mathematics teacher, A-level and Oxbridge took up 70% of my timetable... no, I guessed not My wife when she taught in the state sector did not manage a single A-level class...
What subject are you?

I was a business and economics teacher (expect I never taught any economics as it's em..hard and thus schools worry it will affect their pass rate). I also used to teach IT.
yeah I saw that report this morning - Standards are risingdoubleplusgood, pay no attention to the education sec behind the curtain...

"was"? Ahh, you mean you don't teach any more... retired? You must be one of those really bad teachers. Today's teachers are much better, which is why the results are so much better. You aught to be ashamed of yourself. And don't think that this is just my opinion. This is what the government says about you.
BTW, did you ever teach the topic "lying to the public from a position of authority"?
