Hello truedog. Yeah, there is no doubt the literalists are wrong on this one. It is one of the pitfalls to claiming it is a book to be interpreted literally, without giving consideration to allegory. The bible has never been proven wrong on any points. Historians and archeologists have been trying to disprove things that are written in there, but so far they have been unsuccessful. Most "bible scholars" today are nothing but debunkers, like the Jesus Seminar. Their strongest attacks are on the New Testament. They try and disprove it through history and archeology, buy they also try and show examples of where the new law has conflicted with Old Testament prophecies. Do you recall the excitement when a Dead Sea scroll that was the earliest version of the book of Isaias was released to scholars for study? "Scholars" were convinced they could now puncture the myth that Isaias wrote of a pierced messiah. They were so sure it was added by the Church later as a propaganda device. Well, it turns out the book of Isaias, or Isaiah, has been unchanged throughout history. The ancient text did not differ from the translations that have been handed down. It was a major blow to them. They won't quit, though.

><>...Evening truedog...><> You are right on track my good friend! Man in the flesh is only 6-7,000 yrs.....Earth is not only 6-7000 yrs. old, it is far older than that, and science proves this out. Gen.1 1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (beginning is not specified!!) 2And the earth was without form,.... Was = became.. in the Hebrew. This is a very deep study, but....I am sure you would benefit from and understand it tremendously! I believe you have eyes to see and ears to hear! You are also absolutely right on target with your thoughts of Adam: The traditions and teachings of man have led much of humanity far from the truth of God's word. Gen.2:5 5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground....Eventhough He had already created man?...But... no man to till the ground? Fishers and hunters....but no farmers? This is also a fairly deep but a much more simplistic study. You will need to have a fairly good working knowledge of Hebrew...or in the alternative, A Green's interlinear Bible...Or at least a Strong's Concordance, and a lot of time to devote. But O...what reward.! Have a good evening Shalom...><>
