I have had my names transposed and the records obscured very frequently. In fact, when I was going through guided missile training in the U.S. Army I was arrested one morning for being AWOL in the next battery. They had my name on the log book there, transposed, and thought they were dealing with an AWOL soldier. Gordon Richard, not Richard Gordon

Even if the dating of, say the prophecies of Daniel can be argued a bit, it can't be stretched to a date later than the time of Jesus's life.

I think you'd have to be an adult to commit adultery, though usually infants cannot do infantry. I've yet to come across any old iron which can spontaneously be ironic. Linda ff
