Solomon, while I will not continue to discuss this with Karl, I will 
continue to discuss it with you. You and some others have continued to 
assert that `olam, in the future sense, can refer to an indefinite or 
uncertain time in the future. But NONE OF YOU HAVE PROVIDED A SINGLE 
SHRED OF EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR 
ASSERTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - except for those 
explicitly based on Christian theology. Those are the FACTS, which I am 
supporting, not flying in the face of.
