This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I don't think Wolfe was considering the Noahtic covenant when he wrote 
about the flood. Does he mention it in the Sun cycle at all? The Noahtic 
covenant could hardly be as problematic as the Church devolving into 
worship of the Concilliator or the Charter. Essentially, the stories 
work fine as one from our distant future, and we shouldn't try to apply 
theologic import to their basic Setting.

But if one must, the references to Jesus do not prevent Briah from being 
a previous universe. Silk sees Jesus during enlightenment from the 
Outsider. The Crucifixion & Resurrection could well be seen as a key 
iconic event between the Increate and humanity--one which the Creator 
uses to "infect" all his other universes.
