In another regard, I am going to say something to make people mad at me. I
would note that the allegoricalization of Adam and Eve, which is so
widespread in Christianity and especially among the members of this
listserv, leads to NO research program looking at the what the Bible might
say about early human history. Allegorys by definition give little impetus
for further research. The YECs advance an already falsified research
program, but the hypothesis I have advanced over the past few years, does
lead to lots of new ideas and findings and suggestions in the area of
apologetics. This linguistic input requires too old an earth for the YECs
and the allegoricalizers have no interest. My view requires something like
this, which is why I went looking for it.
