Howard,
I need to explain that I did not reply to your original question to me
regarding being "comfortable to have man living 5 mill yrs ago". I do not
feel I know enough about anthropology to make any defence for this view.
My bias is towards the Mediteranian Flood view because of the geological
considerations and the repeated pushing back of the time line for the
appearance of early man makes me comfortable with a date in the early
millions.
Glenn, thanks for taking the matter up for discussion with Howard and
others and allowing us to learn from the discussion. It is good hearing you
articulate your views, Howard. I would like to think of the account of the
resurrection of Jesus as being "historical fact" compared to the account of
Mohamad's resurrection/ascension to heaven, Howard.
Have just returned from a week away from the office - hence the silence
from my end (European Winter Conference on Spectrochemistry at Lillehammer
where the temperature was minus 28 C !).
Sincerely,
Samuel
