RE: [asa] RE: [asa] Believing Scripture but Playing by Science's Rules

For example, the name "Pedro" or "Ivan" does not proliferate in China.
Why? Can we not reasonably infer that kids are named after their
fathers and forefathers? Why wouldn't the name "Adamu," or Adam in
Hebrew, proliferate among generations from whom the Bible says they
came? Wouldn't Adamic generations be prone to name their children after
him? And they did! By contrast the name is not found among the nearby
Sumerians or Egyptians. Why? Because Adam was not in their family
tree.

Thus the Bible traces the children of Israel back to Adam. It does not
trace unrelated generations back to Adam. That's the little mistake we
have made in interpretation that hinders us in satisfactorily
reconciling Genesis with modern anthropology. Placing Adam in recent
history precludes him from being ancestral to everyone on earth.

Sorry Dick somehow I do not understand the point of your post and what I

am supposed to be convinced of. In any case while some names are
reasonably obvious where they come from, others seem to be in more
doubt.
