You have the wrong creation you ninny - eschatology and genesis

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.

Actually, God never promises that the Earth will not again be flooded -
only that He will not do it. And, in New Sun, God does not do it; the
Yesodis and Severian do.
