Veers, I wasn't taking your example to mean that you were disrespecting the Bible. I was simply transferring your example out of the realm of Star Trek and into reality to point what I saw as a flaw in it. It's a trick I've learned in my ethics classes.

I agree with you that a good portion of the Encyclopedia and all of that is canon for the sake that a lot of information either came directly from the screen or eventually made it on-screen. A lot of the information itself is canon. Some of the information itself is not canon. As a whole, the works are semi-canon because of this mixture. That's one of the points I've been trying to make.

Thanks, Siegfried. Now, actually, I am beginning to agree.

"That's why FJ's Technical manual is non-canon. Not because GR said so. I don't give a flip about whether he declared TAS non-canon or not. GR is dead, and it's up to the present-day powers that be what is canon and what is not."

Hang on. The present-day powers get to deceide what is canon? So if (for example), they deceide that there was an Enterprise before Kirk's, then that becomes cannon, surely. And you can't argue with them.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

The flaws we find most objectionable in others are often those we recognize in ourselves.

I'll not go into much for this isn't the place or time, but just to say you're absolutely wrong on this point.

And before anyone decides to entertain the idea of starting a thread on the internal inconsistencies of the Bible of Christian fame, you've already been beaten to it:
