You're right, Susanne, but seldom for the better.   Some names that come to mind are Josef Stalin, Adolph Hitler, Pol Pot.  I'm sure that all of us can think of many others

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed 
citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Well, maybe so, with the slithering snake.  But how about the talking, burning bush ?

Suppose that every memory, written word, and piece of technology on earth was destroyed all at once, leaving humanity to start completely from scratch. Everything we have come to know about science would eventually be discovered again. Given a few thousand years, people would figure out chemistry, and rediscover all of the same elements we know about now. People would once again understand biology, including its evolutionary origins. People would eventually see the motions of other galaxies in the sky, and work out the details of the big bang. This is the glorious part about science, it can and would all be replicated. I can assure you, however, that your story about a talking snake would be gone forever.

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."-Steven Weinberg

If god is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining.

Going to church doesn't make you a xian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
Winston Churchill
