Here is an oral tradition passed down the generations
"In the beginning . . . ."

Now lests see, how factual that is

Universe, Earth, Life, light, man created in 6 days.
  Only off by 14 billion years.

Anyone who believes that oral traditions are accurate passed more
than a few decades without some visual mnemonic device needs to
have their head examined. For Paul, however, that goes without
saying.

  It was clearly realized by even the sumerians that the written word
had power. The reason it had power is because it limited the degree
that certain individuals could make fools of themselves and the
public. Since that time we have had a remedy for folks like you and
PComm.
