The miricle of the water to wine in Cana has an oft overlooked sub-point.

God can make things 'old'. Good wine needs time, but it was created in an instant.

That is a GREAT point. He can program things that appear to be old (never thougt of Cana in that regard, THANK YOU!)( You sound almost like a Catholic Fundamentalist. On catholicfundamentalism.com the point is made that He programmed things so that people could be free to choose to believe if He made them or not. Without a universe that could look old, we wouldn't have free will.

Yeah, maybe. It refers to starting Christianity over from scratch rather than trying to fit the new teaching into the cumbersome old legal system.
