I had a conversation with another Christian about this quote from the book 
of Ecclesiastes ("there is nothing new under the sun"). He kept insisting on 
a literal interpretation -- "yes, there were jet planes", "yes, there were 
cars". The usual arguments -- "How come there are no artefacts, where are 
the ancient airports?" produced even more fantastic theories. So I finally 
suggested that following this logic, Christ must have come to Earth more 
than once, and the Second Coming must have happened at least once before.

This probably is a good illustration of my tendency to "seek the truth", at 
the expense of maintaining good relations with people. Carnegie would not 
approve. :-(
