RE: [asa] The Bible does not require a Neolithic Adam!

Dick, you are avoiding the issue. There is nothing in the Scripture that
says Adam was living at anytime within the past 150,000 years either. Do you
agree?

Hi Glenn:

There is nothing in Scripture or ANE history that even suggests Adam could
have been Sumerian. (Ubaidan or Halafian is possible.) An Akkadian, yes,
because the language is consistent among the Semites, but it is extremely
unlikely Adam was Sumerian. The first two names on the pre-flood Sumerian
king list are Semitic (Adamic) names. The legend of Adapa was never copied
in Sumerian. Adamu as a personal name only appears among Semitic nations.
The Sumerians were non-Semitic and therefore non-Adamic.

Yeah, but Dick, what happened to your recent Adam? Are you not going to
defend it, given that there is nothing in Scripture which requires him to be
a Sumerian now?
