“.....people who produced the thousands of knives and other tools in Qassem Cave between 200,000 and 400,000 years ago...”
Since we are all entitled to our own opinions and choices, I choose to believe the Scriptures, which indicate that Creation, a la the Book of Genesis, took place between 6K and 10K years ago. This “tool factory” was probably in operation just before or sometime after the Noahic Flood.
Come on, Dave. With all due respect; I’d expect a fine Jewish guy, which your name indicates, to believe the Scriptures handed down from your God honoring ancestors. May I suggest that you get in contact with a “cousin” of yours, Joel C. Rosenberg, who has done quite well for himself by telling the truth? www.joelrosenberg.com
And FR has an extensive Religion forum to discuss things like that.
I am curious as to how that is calculated.
