In general I agree with you. But with this country (apparently) already
having trod that road, with bad consequences, I still worry. Besides, the
limited Adam view does not account for anthropological facts like the early
inventions of things supposedly invented by Adam's descendants:

Tents > 60,000 years
Flutes > 90,000 years
Animal husbandry Possibly > 15,000 years (there is an artwork with a
drawing of a horse head from that time which has what appears to be a
halter on it. Some have said it is a halter and other say it isn't. It
looks like one to me.
