Too funny. Laughing to myself about how some of you all will be in a conundrum after reading this... it's about the bible, but also talks about grapes "evolving over millions of years". But the world's only 6,000 years old and people used to ride dinosaurs yadda yadda.

Some of us won't be in a conundrum at all, Myth Buster. Some of us realize that it's utter folly to use Hebrew poetry, written millennia ago for an ancient civilization ("meeting" them in their culture and context), as a scientific textbook in the 21st century. Even if we would do such a silly thing, we know that the creation of the earth could have taken millions of years, seeing as - to God - one day is the same as a thousand years (symbolic numbers, again). Besides, in Genesis, the word "Yom" that is translated in most Bibles to "day", can in fact mean just about any period of time (http://www.oldearth.org/word_study_yom.htm).
There have been countless brilliant scientists (and also many, many average next-door Christians) over many, many years that have believed both in God and that He has created the earth much, much longer than 6000 years ago.
What is inaccurate, is the author's belief that Dom Perignon created sparkling wine.

Ja, nice and all, but the article doesn't say Dom Perignon "created sparkling wine" dude / dudess. It merely said "..... before Dom Perignon in Champagne.....", doesn't imply "created". Otherwise reasonable comment.
Just amused at how quick people are to point out errors, etc., and also how when scientists date geography and later find they were wrong, are quick to say that"... at the time the technology...... etc, etc. Who cares a hoot?? Just live life damnit!! Oh, and have some wine while living it...... :-)

Hi, Barry
Picking bones here, but the article actually does say "created". Here's the exact quote: "According to the authors' translations, it is possible that the Israelites, long before Dom Perignon in Champagne, created sparkling wine,.."
To me it's a clear insinuation that - to the writer's mind - Dom P created sparkling wine (to possibly be refuted by this new-found info).
I'll agree to disagree with you on this one then, Barry.
Cheers

It won't get cheaper so I'd get it as soon as it comes out.Dom Perignon is fine cahpmagne but there are others. Roederer Crystal is wonderful as it Taittenger.If you want the fanciest name then go for the Dom.PS: Dom Perignon is the name of the monk who is credited with inventing cahpmagne. I bet he was quite the partier!References :
