That Day will come as a trap on all the world

How is this thread still going? I think I am till alive, so obviously there was no rapture. Anything interesting happen in the 100 pages I missed?
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
You know how it is Tobie, one thing leads to another........
The Rapture has been on hold, egg is still being wiped off the prof's face. I wasn't booted off AF either. Life is good. 
I don't recall you ever being in danger of getting booted off. It was more like your declaring you were going to leave on your own. Funny how the memory cheats the embarrassing bits, isn't it?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Well, they love booting people. I was blackballed once. But that's nothing to do with them.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Actually, it was more to do with a hospital and sharp metal things.
