I do not believe that I threw the baby out with the bathwater.<BR/><BR/>I diligently searched through the bathwater to see if there was a baby and found that it is unlikely that there ever was a baby to begin with. Numerous strands of evidence suggest to me that not only should the Adam story be taken non-literally, but the God of Abraham and the divinity of Christ should be as well.<BR/><BR/>But, I am ok with us disagreeing on that point.Hüffenhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721254732982582835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20847196.post-10869887694674257872007-03-06T03:56:00.000-08:002007-03-06T03:56:00.000-08:00Dave,I'm a Christian and I agree with you about Ad...Dave,<BR/>I'm a Christian and I agree with you about Adam. In fact, many reasoning Christians are in the same camp.<BR/>Too many Christians believe that acknowledging scientific and archaeological research is akin to throwing away their faith in God. What they do, as do many ex-believers, throw out the baby with the bathwater. Faith and knowledge aren't mutually exclusive.<BR/>Thanks for the post!Brother Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008667056253683810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20847196.post-43833215507424325672007-02-21T08:26:00.000-08:002007-02-21T08:26:00.000-08:00Malcolm,You are absolutely right.

Now that you have brought my attention to it, I have no idea why I wrote that last phrase in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for catching that.Hüffenhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721254732982582835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20847196.post-66533250406606384722007-02-21T04:53:00.000-08:002007-02-21T04:53:00.000-08:00"we have been able to calculate that the common ma..."we have been able to calculate that the common male ancestor of every living male lived some 60,000 years ago in sub-Saharan Africa, which means that all humans lived in Africa at least until that time."<BR/><BR/>Sorry to be picky, but all it means for sure is that our common male ancestor lived in sub-Saharan Africa some 60,000 years ago.
