Hi Glenn, you wrote:

I was published in The Washington Post, August 17, 1986. The title
of the article was: "The Bible Proves That Creationism Is Wrong." It
was placed on the LA Times-Washington Post newswire and made
available to over 500 newspapers all over the world, some of whom
printed it also. At the time I had worked out that Adam entered a
populated world (so far so good), but I postulated that the flood
terminated all the non-Adamite populations. Dead wrong! Thanks for
asking.

I found in the Library of Congress a list of receipts and documents
that were retrieved (stolen) from the ancient cattle market of
Drehem. Mostly boring stuff written in Sumerian except there was one
receipt for "unblemished cattle for sacrifice." That would be the
earliest recorded mention of animal sacrifice to biblical standards
predating the Bible itself.

What mountains can you find on the waters edge of the Mediterranean sea?
And Noah made a pronouncement concerning Canaan, his grandson, and
his son Shem in Genesis 9:26 for whom the Canaanites (biblical and
historical) and Semites (historical) are named. What happened in the
intervening 5 million years you insert between Noah and his immediate
offspring?

At 5,000 years ago, survivors were everywhere. Sumerians, Egyptians,
Persians - all survived the Adamite obliterating flood.

That's what archives are for.
