I look forward to meeting you finally. You have always been a great help to

Of course, not all. But the vast majority don't. The only other apologist
published on the issue of which I am aware who is willing to have a 500 kyr
or more Adam is me and Bernard Ramm. There may be some who are unpublished.
The feeling I get from most here is that Adam isn't all that important in
the grand scheme of things so there is no reason trying to do anything
concordistic with him, like determine who he is, what species he was and
when he lived. Dick, of course, is the huge exception to this. He cares
greatly about finding a real Adam and for that I respect him greatly even if
I disagree strongly with him (I suspect the feeling is mutual).
