RE: [asa] Fw: What Darwin Didn't Know article by Dr. Fuz Rana

Hi Gordon:
 
I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that Rana and Ross stick the flood
back into the same timeframe as Adam, and the out of Africa theory would
be a post flood migration. Doesn't make any sense at all but then if
you don't bother reading an anthropology book, or even Genesis, then
these kinds of glaring discrepancies are bound to crop up. Obviously,
Chrisma doesn't have peer review.

I saw the same ideas in Rana's book "Who Was Adam?" I think that Hugh
Ross (and
presumably also Fuz Rana) believes that the Flood was not global but
still
reduced the human population to only eight individuals. If so, why does
Rana
worry so much about making Eden fit into the Out-of-Africa hypothesis
rather
than doing this with the geographic location of the early descendants of
Noah?
