Adam's first wife left him and Eden because she refused to be subservient to man - and she was so reviled that she is referred to as the first witch - Lillith.

The whole Lilith thing does not belong to Christian belief.

It doesn't?

It was the same god that created Lilith that is worshipped by Christians.

You cannot claim the god of the Ot is different to the god of the NT only when is uits your argument - he either is or isn't - he cannot be both!

The Christian religion has the biggest percentage of spin-doctors of any group except politics.

Lilith is belongs to Jewish mythology, nothing more.

OH Jews have mythology too?? ???

Bet Christians don't ?!?!?!? ;) ;) ::)

Wikipedia is so factually reliable that to reference it in any level of High School or University examination is to gain an instant fail.

You seem to be arguing that, if it is Wikipedia, it is false. This is a fallacy.

No - from the Senior Professor of History at my daughter's university - stated as a warning when giving out the first research assignment of the first term of the BA (Hist) degree course.

There's a difference between citing Wikipedia in an academic paper and using it to back up an argument on an internet forum.

And also, how do schools know that Wiki has been cited, and it is not some other source, being used?

Because that's what citing a source actually means. You know that Wikipedia has been cited because the citation says "from Wikipedia".

Er, yes, but I'm suggesting that no source is specified, yet the student is clearly using one.

That has a different name. It's called "plagiarism".
