Some fundamentalists will claim that the Biblical story of Babel not only was the origin of all languages, but also human races resulted from that event. Unfortunately, modern genomics and some statistics will say otherwise. BTW, I saw this last week that Harvard is actually going to fund research in abiogenesis, partly it looks like because of the current politics of the matter. This should be quite interesting.

I never really pursued the argument beyond Noah. It is an obvious choke point, so I never had to extended it to Adam and Eve. You are, of course correct in pointing out that even discounting Noah for what ever reason doesn't get them off the hook. So the question boils down to is Bishop Ulster correct in determining 4004 BC as the date of creation? Even if not, then how long to account for the divergence of humanity? And why isn't that evolution? You guys keep forgetting the two missing days that NASA knows about. According to the creationists, it was during those two days when God made all the big things. BTW have you heard of the Scriptural Geologists.......they were the creationists of the early 19th century? They believed that there were several big floods [not just Noah's] that led to the creation of the earth as we know it. They pretty much died out when Darwin came along with his theory of evolution only to be reincarnated at the beginning of the 21st century [well at least a couple of more times in between as well]. This whole argument makes me tired. You would think the IDers would realize that the fact they have to keep changing their story makes them very suspect.
