<<Thus, the lack of
iron objects from long long ago, is not contradictory to my views, IF iron
objects were produced by Adam and his descendants in the basinal
Mediterranean prior to the flood 5.5 million years ago.>>
Look at the verse more closely: In the Heberew, the verse say Tubal-cain
was the "instructor" of "all" (at the time of the WRITING of Genesis) who
work in bronze and iron. The verse tells us that there is a direct line
from Tubal-cain in iron to ALL who (at the time of the writing of Genesis)
work in iron. (BTW, the same thing is said of Jubal, inventor of the harp).
Now tell me, how can he be the instructor if he had no students? How can he
be the father if he had no sons? How can he be listed in the Bible as THE
instructor, when he was lost to the ages in the Flood?
Under Glenn's scenario, Tubal-cain was not the instructor of anyone in the
post-Flood world. This presents his theory with a slight problem: direct
contradiction with the Bible.
