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

MessageHi Glenn:

The city Cain built and named Enoch is dateable. Noah is dateable via the Mesopotamian flood and he is only ten generations removed. Noah's grandsons are dateable as are subsequent generations to Abraham, and Abraham is dateable. What more do you want?

  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?
