RE: [asa] The Fall of man (Adamites)

Hi Kirk, you wrote:

so. It's not unreasonable to infer that they also tended to stay
together before the Flood.<
 
Remember also the flood narrative ends with Genesis 9. The dispersion
of the sons of Noah is covered in Genesis 10. The Tower of Babel
incident comes in the following chapter. So the flow of events is
flood, dispersion, Babel; not flood, Babel, dispersion. Traditionalists
have reorderd the events to make the biblical text line up with their
presuppositions. The incident at Babylon was pertinent to the
descendants of Arphaxad, those in the direct line of promise leading to
Christ. Canaanites went to the land of Canaan, Elam went to Persia,
Mizraim to Eqypt, Ashur to Assyria, etc., and all dispersed at the death
of Noah, not at Babel.

It is a good thing the "Adamites" all stayed together, because if they
spread out over the globe like other humans, a global worldwide flood
would have been necessary to reach them all, instead of a local flood as
I think you propose, Dick.
