You must mean Betty Jo Bialosky. I hadn't heard that name since college. Everyone knew her as Nancy.

You got to be kidding. Man has been debating that question for thousands of years and you want an answer on a2k. Try calling 1-800-God
That isn't a real number man......it would have to be 1-800-god-real
or something like that.........you see know?
And there should be no debating, the answer is:

Now the stage is yours, you said no, give me facts why not.
Reason one: the whole rainbow thing.....in the bible it says the rainbow is made by god, to say he is sorry for the flood.......in the bible it also says that is the first time it every rained.....Why are there 9 planets? did god mess up the first 8 times? Why aren't the dinosaurs metioned in the bible? Because the authors didn't know they existed yet.
If you define a "chair" as something flat, moveable, that's strong enough to support your weight, then you can look around and see a few chairs wherever you go. Even if it's just a rock, stump, or bucket turned upside down.
Before you create the concept, there are no chairs anywhere. After you create it, they are suddenly all over the place! They work. It is good.
If you define "God" as everything that exists -- every bit of knowledge (omniscient), every force in the universe (omnipotent) and the cause of every single event that happens (Creator), then you have a realistic and practical definition. Saying "God" is more poetic than saying "The Universe" but that's all it is, to me.
Do the things around you exist? They're part of this definition, so there's no faith, trust, or belief involved whatsoever. There's God. Pretty simple, I don't know why anybody argues about it.
Personally, I define "Heaven" as the state that God is in, the way things are, constantly shifting and changing in very interesting ways "by the hand of God". So every person and thing is part of God, and their way of being is Heaven.
When I use those definitions everything makes beautiful sense to me, and there's really not much to get upset or argue about. The poetry suddenly fits and has interesting imagery, metaphor, and suggestions within it.
'Course I'm just weird.
Need more dude?
I can go for along time.
