Harold:

Don't you see that by agreeing here, you have 
undercut your insistence that Genesis 8:22 mentions 
resuming the cycle of seasons that existed prior to 
the flood?

As for the rest of the message, I won't bother to 
reply to it. I have already discussed in detail why 
I disagree with you, I see no reason to bore the 
list with repeating myself.

Karl W. Randolph.
