Karl, you misunderstood me. I made no assertion. Other people, including 
later on yourself, made assertions that `olam could mean "indefinite or 
unknown time". I asked for evidence for these assertions. Some verses 
were offered, but none of them (unless read through the framework of 
certain kinds of Christian theology) in fact support the assertion, as I 
have shown. I have always said that I am open to evidence, whereas 
others seem to insist on the truth of their assertion without being 
interested in evidence.
