First of all, I don't know if I am supposed to take this discussion only to
off-topic.debate or also have it cross-posted to general.  If someone knows
better, let me know.

God existed first, before anything else.  He created all things, including
man, whom He created in His own image.  Man, being sinful, created gods in
his own image. (see http://home.ifriendly.com/~fourfarrs/truth.htm and
http://home.ifriendly.com/~fourfarrs/truthfaq.htm)  So God did not steal the
term.

And the world turns round again...

Not to get off topic...oh wait we already are, never mind.  Does the
world actually turn around in a straight circle?  I mean I know it
sorta wobbles and what not and that's how we get the seasons, but is
it how the earth is rotating that is changing, or is it just the axis
which has changed?  Or would that be the same thing...hmmm...ponder
that for a bit.    : )

(...) I'd much rather ponder what a "straight circle" is. A gyroscope undergoes precession, in that its axis of rotation "wobbles," but the rotation itself, relative to that axis, is pretty fixed, I think. Dave! (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) The "wobble" is not the cause of the seasons, rather it is the angle of the rotational axis relative to the sun during the period the earth revolves about the sun. Bruce (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
