I think that third tooth on the left was gay.
Genesis clearly suggests Adam and Eve lived in the Mesopotamian Neolithic at the dawn of civilization. That’s where the Tigris and Euphrates are, and where we see farming (Adam & Cain), herding (Abel), and cities (Cain).
Early hominids can shed light on the formation of Adam’s body but I don’t think they are germane to him as a historical person.
Re: “you mean you don’t think the first man and first woman were Adam and Eve?”
Unlike most Conservatives, I am not a religious person.
On the other hand, I recognize the necessity of a religious people for sustainable self-government, and I recognize that the legal “authority” for man’s natural and unalienable rights must come from a higher power than man.
How do I live with this obvious contradiction?
Well, mostly I just don’t think about it.
I’ve been voting Republican for 50 years.
And when push comes to shove, I will always line up with the Lutherans, the Evangelicals, and the Orthodox Jews.
