My dad is weird.

That's what some say. My dad (who was doing the paranoid thing before Y2K, kind of like notfred's dad is doing now) believes that the statement there refers not to angels doing dirty deeds with women, but rather the godly descendents of Seth marrying the wicked descendents of Cain (unfortunately I've heard that particular lecture too many times, because my dad also has an annoying habit of "lecturing" mom and I whenever he comes across some "interesting" news article on the internet, or some passage in the Bible that he thinks worthy of a two hour dry monologue). Apparently there's a third school of thought on that passage as well, but I don't know much about what those people think. Anyway, IMHO it's nothing much to waste time worrying about, even for Christians; what reason do I have for worrying about who was screwing whom 5,000 years ago?

Your dad sounds like my dad. "Hey, I read some boring article about something you don't care about. I'm going to talk to you about it for an hour. Then, tomorrow, I'll read the second chapter, and talk to you about that..."

He sounds cool.

Hey, I gotta admit, I have nothing against solar panels, etc. (renewable energy sources are great!), but I don't buy into the it's-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it thing. Yes, things aren't looking awfully pretty right now, but people have been predicting the end of the world in prompt order for millennia (AFAIK), and it hasn't happened yet.
