"I agree with Glenn and Walter here. The feeding of the 5,000 was
most likely a duplication of existing bread and fish."
Stephen -- could you PLEASE make your posts shorter. You do not have to
quote everything everyone else has said. This LISTSERV is a thread, of
course.
On your comment above. You miss the point, my friend.
First of all, whether or not you agree" with Glenn and Walter is
irrevelent. If you have an agrument or evidence in favor -- that is
useful. This is not a "popularity contest."
Secondly, I don't know if Glenn's conjecture is true or not. At this
distance, 1900+ years later, I don't see a way to test it. What is
interesting (to me) is the logical results of assuming it is either not
true or true.
Thirdly, if you are right, then the Cana event was different, for here
water was changed into wine. No "new biomass" was created (or at least
very little).
