It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
I think he was speaking of a mustard plastered -- that damn wine was strong in those days.
As far as Nature, the sly references to The Force in "Star Wars" will get it thrown out as adolescent.
More like mustard plastered -- that red wine was pretty potent in those days.
I doubt if this would make it into Nature -- it would be rejected for the adolescent referral to The Force in "Star Wars." This person doesn't just go to church, he goes to too many teeny-bopper sci-fi movies.

It would not have been very becoming for "the lord Jesus Christ" to have been "plastered"... I don't get that from that passage although you are right about the wine being potent in those days. If you are implying that mustard was used in strong drink then it certainly would shed some eastern light on the passage...
Red wine can move mountains then you wake up the next morning and they are in the wrong place..
Hey Rex, did god make my wrist watch?

You wrist watch was invented with revelation from God... and it is made from ingredients that God created, made and formed...
Only if it's a Reverant Rolex.

Can you show me where it says my Rolex was invented with revelation from God?
Only if it has a halo around it.
If my Rolex was invented with revelation from God, would that somehow explain why God's time relates differently to measured time in Genesis? This is RexRedian challenge!
God had a cheap Rolex knockoff and it kept lousy time.
"Idle Hands Are The Devil's Tools" so the hands of God's cheap Rolex knockoff are of the Devil!
RexRedian logic at it's finest.
I'll go with Rex on the red jello; I'm not particularly partial to lime anything. When I was a wee tyke, prolly somewhere around 7 oor 8 years old, I guess, a freind and I happened to be playing in a field behind a grocery store. We noticed a big refrigerated delivery truck emblazoned with the logo of an ice cream vendor pull up to the store's loading dock, and our observational skills revealed to us the driver would wrestle a heavily laden handtruck into the store, leaving the truck's cargo door open, be absent a fair while, then repeat. We formed a daring plan. Timing our raid with precision, we rushed the truck as soon as the driver next had disappeared into the store. Reaching our target, we were all but dazzled by the unimaginable riches laid prey to our taking. In gleeful haste, we grabbed the biggest tub most convenient to the door, neither knowing nor much caring what its contents might be, and sprinted back to the cover of the field with our prize. There we spent most of the rest of the afternoon gorging ourselves on lime sherbet. Its been 50 some years since then, and the thought of lime anything still gives me a queasy shudder.
That happened to me once with banana cream pie. Ever since I have been profoundly grateful that it was not beer!
Well, I guess this is for anyone who would like to chat. I don't know that much about evolution. Of course, I studied it in high school, but that was so long ago I can't remember. And I think i was asleep for most of my lectures. Any interesting new developments in the last ten or so years.

Yeah, what Chumly said, and the fact that a tiny percent of people with no idea seem to be convincing everybody there's controversy and doubt about evolution, which, of course, there isn't.
Text of letter signed by 188 pastors in 2004 from Baptist, Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist and other churches sent to school officials in Grantsburg, Wisconsin criticizing a policy containing the expectation that students be able to explain "the scientific strengths and weaknesses of evolutionary theory:
timber, Your childhood crime reminded me when our younger son got caught stealing candy at a grocery store in Naperville when he was about six years old. The manager had our son and another boy kept in his office while he called us to tell us about the crime, but he was a wise man that wanted to scare the bejeesus out of them by saying he was going to call the police if they were ever caught again. The manager said it was good they got caught when young, because they will learn the lesson not to steal again. To make a long story short, since our son is now 39 years old, he has been honest about not taking money even when its laying around the house. I've been thankful to that manager ever since.
