[QUOTE="AngelTears, post: 438890, member: 8181"] Not to drag religion in, but I was doing research into angels and I came across this: [I]And when thy Lord said unto the angels, ‘I am about to place a vicegerent in the earth,’ they said, ‘Wilt Thou place therein one who will do evil therein and shed blood? we celebrate Thy praise and hallow Thee.’ Said (the Lord), ‘I know what ye know not.’ And He taught Adam the names, all of them; then He propounded them to the angels and said, ‘Declare to me the names of these, if ye are truthful.’ They said, ‘Glory be to Thee! no knowledge is ours but what Thou thyself hast taught us, verily, Thou art the knowing, the wise.’ Said the Lord, ‘O Adam declare to them their names;‘ and when he had declared to them their names He said, ‘Did I not say to you, I know the secrets of the heavens and of the earth, and I know what ye show and what ye were hiding?’ And when we said to the angels, ‘Adore Adam,’ they adored him save only Iblis, who refused and was too proud and became one of the misbelievers[/I] (The Qur'an (E.H. Palmer tr), Sura 2 - The Heifer) True names would then seem to be a bit older then what might be expected. I suspect there is a similar passage (or was) in the Bible. Just an interesting point ;) -Angel Tears [/QUOTE]
