Heya Murray,
Just a short comment here. I'm in agreement with quite a lot of your
perspective (sounds like you've taken in quite some interesting observations
from aboriginal beliefs/practices!), but I don't think Murray was asking for
a specific *when* A and B are distinguished, or even necessarily a *how* A
and B are distinguished, but simply *that* A and B are, in fact,
distinguished. That there was, somehow and someway, a 'first man' - and that
man is distinct from non-man. Pretty simple, and I agree with Gregory about
such a man existing, though I agree with you in turn about what the real
importance of those passages were. So I guess I'm somewhere in the middle
(though your take on Paul is also fascinating. You should be writing
articles, Murray.)
