Well since it was me that made the money in our family, cared for 2 children alone etc. and today I have 2 great kids that are doing well, one is a nurse and the other a police officer, I think you just might be a tad off the mark in your comments of a single mom and what can be achieved alone. Interestingly enough it's my son that is the nurse and my daughter that's the police officer. Snow ~ I realize that single working Moms sometimes get a bad rap, but in many cases they are the heroes deserving of praise, as this article brings out. www.psychologytoday.com/blog/living-single/200901/children-single-mothers-how-do-they-really-fareI think that having other adults in their lives made a difference for my kids. They had aunts and uncles from my ex husbands side but no grandparents. Also, there was never a time when their father wasn't allowed to see them so when he was around (which wasn't all that often because he worked out of town all the time) he was part of their lives and they knew he cared about them. We worked really hard to make sure they didn't have to feel more loyal to one parent over the other when we did divorce, but because he was away so much even when we were married, the kids were more used to just having me as a care giver already. I was also very lucky to have an awesome babysitter. I couldn't have done it without her or someone like her. When I was working full time and going to university in the evening, she had them from early in the morning till 9 at night some days. I would drop the kids early so I could get an extra hour of studying in before work when it was quiet and she would meet me at the door with fresh donuts because she knew I usually didn't have time for breakfast. So I was a very lucky single mom. There were no grandparents around though so it was usually just me for a good percentage of the time. It's interesting how my kids view it now because they said they really had no idea how much I did when they were sleeping lol. I lived on an acerage and had animals to tend to plus I brought work home. I would get up early and do the chores, then wake the kids and get them ready for the babysitter and/or school then go to work. Get home, do more chores, make supper, get the kids to bed them do some home work or files from work depending on what I had to catch up on more. I lived for quite a few years on about 4-5 hours sleep in those days. Sure couldn't do that now!!!

Isn't that like Nathan's theory that ET's are/have been ruling the earth? Either way, it doesn't resolve the question of whether or in what way this is God's world or not. I don't think Christianity presumes to say there isn't any conflict. But they are arguing that Christ is revealing the superiority of the [invisible] Creator God. Evidently, aliens haven't answered the questions of their origins, like we might order a burger and fries from McDonald's. Neither have angels, I'll put money on it. Have peace. The Christ-inspired scripture reads, "For surely it is not angels he helps (who we might presume to know it all), but Abraham's descendants".

It's always interesting to hear all the different theories. And, there are lots of them.
