Well that was the problem, I never did. I tried hard to get it but it never came.

Were you aware, at that time, of these verses in the Bible?


NIV 1 Corinthians 1:11-25
 11.  My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
 12.  What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas "; still another, "I follow Christ."
 13.  Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into  the name of Paul?
 14.  I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
 15.  so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.
 16.  (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.)
 17.  For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
 18.  For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
 19.  For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
 20.  Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
 21.  For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
 22.  Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom,
 23.  but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
 24.  but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Yes. Like I said, I am a fool :)

19. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." 20. Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

My money is on F=MA, it makes accurate predictions, the Bible doesn't.
