Well, God blessed the birds too folks 🙂 … Read your Bibles. I think Genesis chapter 1 is in the protestant Bible, right?:

20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”  23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

If the Pope is crazy, then God is crazy. So, hush Jim and Cliff. And, thanks Joel.

Here’s a quote of the day from Paul Tillich from his Theology of Culture:

A God about whose existence or non-existence you can argue is a thing beside others within the universe of existing things.  And the question is quite justified whether such a thing does exist, and the answer is equally justified that it does not exist.  It is regrettable that scientists believe that they have refuted religion when they rightly have shown that there is no evidence whatsoever for the assumption that such a being exists.  Actually, they have not only refuted religion, but they have done it a considerable service.  They have forced it to reconsider and restate the meaning of the tremendous word God….
