He sees a conflict between Genesis 1 and science. I see no such conflict. The conflict arises when we force Genesis 1 into a preconceived dogma. When we understand that this account comes from the ancient Kushites, Abraham's ancestors, we are able to place it in the proper cultural context: originally a Nilotic priestly cosmology. <br /><br />I doubt that Dr. Miller takes the Genesis 4 and 5 Horite marriage and ascendency pattern at face value. He likely believes that Cain's line died out in a universal flood, ignoring the fact that the Horite ruler-priest lines intermarried exclusively, as is characteristic of castes. If Cain's line ceased to be, why were the Canaanites living in Abraham's time? The Canannites are descendants of Cain and his brother Seth. To ignore this reality is to accept a view that runs counter to the entire theme of Scripture - God's fulfillment of the first promise that the Son of God would come into the world exactly as was promised, miraculously conceived by the Horite "Woman" (not Eve) of the ruler-priest lines to whom the promise was made in Eden (Gen. 3:15). Since all the Apostles agree that belief in the Son of God is absolutely essential for salvation, wouldn't rejection of this "jeopardize one's standing with God"?Alice C.

It is very short in length. "How to disprove atheists in 82 seconds."
