Hi Glenn,
Given your schedule, I will leave you with a fact:
<< Actually, since I published that it was pointed out to me the
inconsistency,
so I now do hold that the ark landed on the shores of Turkey. The Mountains
of Ararat which is the mountainous region in Eastern Turkey, geologically
extend from eastern Turkey to Adana. Geologically that entire system is one
mountainous region. Thus by landing there near the region of Adana one is on
the same mountain chain. It was Bill Hamilton who got me to change on this
point. I always try to eliminate my inconsistencies the best that I can. >>
Ararat is a country (Urartu in the Assyrian texts). Gen 8:4 is saying that
the ark came to rest in the mountains in the country of Ararat. Adana is
maybe 200 miles SW of the country of Ararat. If the text said the ark landed
in the "the Rockies of Montana," you could scarcely suppose it meant that
the ark landed in the Rockies of Colorado or Alaska because geologically they
are on the same mountain chain.
Best to you. Have a good trip. And we will look forward to you getting back
to the list.
Paul
