I made an 81 in Embryo, same as last time, but only studying for a weekend instead of a full week, so suck it.
Also I had a theological discussion with a Protestant, a Catholic, and two Muslims today. The topics varied, but I learned that, at least for these Muslims, Jesus was not only a great prophet for them but also their Messiah. They just think that our Bible was corrupted over time, and that Mohammed made the final version that couldn't be corrupted again. This brought up the idea from them that Paul (who wrote most of the New Testament) wrote the books 200 years after the time of Christ. This is just plain incorrect, of course. Paul hung out with Jesus' disciples as they preached the gospel, and that only happened because Jesus showed up and talked to Paul to convert him.
Anyway, really cool discussions today and I hope they happen tomorrow. They're a breath of fresh air for me.
