Once again, thanks, Jerry.
On a slightly different topic, I was pondering "Is night evil?" In man's eyes, the night is seen as evil, because that's when the "more evil" things are committed usually (rape, murder, grand theft, etc). However, God made the night, didn't He? It's not the darkness OF NIGHT we fear, it is the sin. Truly, if night is evil, then why did God make the moon and stars so glorious to be seen only at night?

Solomom was so appauled at the evil done "under the sun" (Ecclesiastes), not because he was so surprised at the evil being done, but that people were bold enough to do it without the cover of night. (Is my thinking correct here, jerry?)

And in Song of Solomon 3:8, 'They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night."

Is it, then, the blackness-the void that is evil (if not, what is it?). God created the light and the darkness, calling them day and night, and it was good. So darkness is not evil-God said that it was good.

This is not meant to change the subject, I just wanted to share one of my ponderings (and invite you to criticize my theological logic)
