...people to wax poetic about cosmic purpose. The Jesuit theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, writing at midcentury, long before the Internet, nonetheless discerned a "thinking envelope of the earth" that he dubbed the "noosphere." This was the divinely ordained outcome of the two evolutions, and would lead to "Point Omega," where brotherly love would reign supreme...
...enough of the night itself. The big question: What if those predictions were right, and Saddam takes advantage of the post-Y2Khaos to lob a few bio-bombs our way?

Sporting a snappy suit and a flat top, Casper Van Dien looked more like the energetic captain of his last big film, Starship Troopers, than the chubby, long-haired Brom from Sleepy Hollow when he met with reporters in a Four Seasons hotel room Friday.

Starting a year before the film's release, TBN viewers were treated to occasional segments on its production; the segments aired nightly beginning in September. The message, says Susan Chaudoir of Omega's distributor, Providence Entertainment, was "You are helping us make this." In early August, the network ran an on-camera plea for volunteers to help promote the movie; the 2,000 respondents spread out into their neighborhoods and congregations with flyers and 100,000 posters. When theater owners agreed to put tickets on sale a month early, TBN aired videos of supporters...
