It seems to me that too many-
people argue over the origin of the
Bible, as if by determining who
wrote them we can determine who
inspired them. Faith is more than a
collection of proofs, and disbelief
will never be changed by mere
argument. Conviction transcends
mere fact.

Doc Lewis in Organic Chem:
Formaldehyde has been found
to be toxic which is not surprising.
Biologists use it extensively to . . .
uh . . . preserve frogs and grass-
hoppers and anything else that fits
in the jar. It kills bacteria and . . .
uh . . . mold and other things that
might destroy small dead animals.
