Bible Note: Dear CDBJ; I am a fundamentalist Biblicist and came to the conclusion after delving deep into scriptures. Looking for the four rivers, I realized that the location had to be where fig trees grew. I then homed in on a Mountain in southern Turkey called Karacadag as the location. It divides its watershed into four major rivers or tributaries. Then looking for other biological clues, I saw that Adam was cursed to eat bread by the sweat of his brow. Thus he had to grow wheat. He was also the first farmer. I researched the first domesticated foods (plants of the field) The center of wild lentils is in this area, Chickpeas only grow in this area, but the clincher was wheat. Scientists did a genetic study and concluded that wheat had been domesticated only once, from the wild wheat growing around Karacadag. I insisted that my conclusions agree completely with the Bible, but I prefer if it also agrees reasonably well with all the extra Biblical evidence. Greentwiga |
