          Let me see if I can make an analogy by Buffy_Fett2003-07-11 07:36:51
            How can you be sure? by Control 2003-07-11 07:44:43
How can you be sure the underlying meaning was kept? This is assuming that there ever was any deity given meaning to the original. If you admit that errors splipped in during translating and copying over the centuries, how can you be sure that certain important keywords( like 'not') haven't disappeared? Might the meaning even have been reversed? A lot of the copying of books was performed by illiterate people during the middle ages, just painting every lettre as they saw it before them. The result, often hardly legible, was then interpreted by the next literate (or semi-literate at least) person copying the text. This guy might have not known a certain word and replaced it with one of his own. Meaning can change over long timescales.
