"Cut any fruit" and "inside 5 points" ????
gee, here are a whole bunch of fruits cut open and none of them have 5 points.
So what is your point? How about if you have a point to make, which it sounds like you do, you just tell us what it is?

Hannie?
I had a paleo class, i spent hours looking through a microscope studying those things. I think I suffered PTSD from it.
See, I have a real time with what I see as overuse of symbolism. There are clearly numerous instances in the Bible where one thing is used as a symbol of something else. But I see most Christians as writing off everything they have an issue with as being "just symbolic." If God says something and it causes people to be uneasy, they dismiss it as not being what God really meant at all. If God said He was going to create humans in His image, most people seem to take issue with that. Instead of just believing that He meant what He said, they redefine the word "image" to mean something other than what it means in virtually every other instance in which it is used. I just don't get it.

Maybe because it's hard to picture the Omni-Everything-Creator-Of-All as that guy in the mirror in the morning.
