BT writes in the OP...... Personally I like the Book of Genesis as it makes an interesting read if one is into strange fantasy. In The beginning there was either nothing or something depending on your point of view. It is strange but let’s take a look at the nothing concept first: DAY 1: In The beginning there was nothing but darkness and out of the darkness came the One God who always was … in the darkness?

In at least one battle, American pilots provided air support for the federal army against the Cristero rebels.”[/quote] I confirmed that quote (which was #24 in the Wiki article).

The movie stars Andy Garcia, Eva Longoria and Peter O.Toole. It is touted a the true story of how the Catholic Church, through a three–year conflict called the Cristero War, won its freedom from the government of Mexico. Carl Anderson in National Review writes, "In 1924 the Mexican government m
