CREA
     Yeah, right, and there are some who suggest that the resurrection was
planned, implemented and executed by UFO-going space aliens known as the
"Elohim".  In the absence of supporting evidence I consider them to be
equally  credible, and I give them the same degree of serious attention as I
do the stories in the National Enquirer.

    Why don't you take off those rose-colored blinders you seem to be
wearing and actually READ the quoted passage instead of engaging in
knee-jerk responses to what you would like to think I said or cited?  It
(Luke 19:41-44) doesn't mention the Temple at all -- it says that Jerusalem
will be destroyed by its foes so utterly  that  "..not a single stone will
they leave in place...".  Now, unless by some miracle the Temple has been
transported to a locale OUTSIDE the city of Jerusalem, the fact that
portions of it (aka The Wailing Wall) are sufficiently intact to exhibit
that there are stones set in place and still standing one upon another is a
clear demonstration that this "prophecy" at least has yet to be fulfilled.
