I was imagining God tilting Their head and thinking "Did we hear a buzzing gnat fly past our ear just now?" 

Saint Peter - "No my lord, it was the buzzing of a fly eating a child's eye"

God - "Oh nevermind then"

(Only joking, no offense meant)

None taken. After all, if God exists, I'm sure They can handle a bit of criticism.

I never got the impression that Genesis was intended to be interpreted any other way than literally. It comes across as a statement of fact, especially given that the Bible is usually very clear whenever symbolic stories are told. Not to mention that everyone in the entire Bible, both Old and New Testaments, clearly take the Genesis creation account to be a literal interpretation of how the earth came to be. 

My YEC senses are tingling ...

Everybody that is angry that Luke fights Vader before Empire Strikes Back obviously never read Splinter of the Mind's eye.

I have. I just choose to interpret the Vader Luke and Leia fought in the Temple of Pomojema as being an illusion created by the Kaiburr crystal rather than the real deal himself.

A new Indiana Jones?

I certainly hope they don't decide to do any more prequels set before ROTLA*. It was bad enough when they made TOD a prequel; any more encounters with supernatural/paranormal phenomena at a time when Indy's supposed to be a firm skeptic would be outright inane.

*Unless said prequels eschewed any overt, direct exposure to the supernatural/paranormal. In that case I wouldn't mind more pre-Raiders prequels.

 

The great thing about the Indiana Jones franchise is that I never had to contend with inconsistencies in plot.  These are not meant to be viewed as a single threaded plot running thru the entire franchise like Marvel is currently trying to do or that Star Wars did.

Indy flicks are one-off adventures.  You can bounce from one point in time to another.  Let's not over complicate the thing.  I think of these films as a re-telling of random stories from an adventurers life.  Fans of more 'serious' franchises tend to want to view the series as a historical chain of events that must maintain logical consistency.  I dont want to turn Indy into something for which we have to put our serious faces on.

Still, would it have been so bad to put "1937" at the beginning of TOD instead of "1935"?

All right, this forum orgy has to happen now.  It's the only way to get all this burning sexual tension out of our systems!
Again, I must reiterate, unless any of you guys are my type (and I'm 100.99% sure 99% of you aren't), I'm not taking part. 

What about women your type? I get the feeling that in that event I'd be pretty much the only woman. LOL.

Thus the 100.99 and 99%. I would have gone with 100.100% on both counts if I were sure everyone here was male. ;-P
