bump.

I am all in support of these kind of discussions of Genesis, in that there is more than meets the eye with the Garden account that begs hermeneutical, linguistical, and cultural scrutiny.

This is important dialogue here.

That is too bad, I really like listening to Dr. Walton.

He makes alot of strong points like who are the people spoken of in Genesis 1:26-28?

Who is Cain frightened of being avenged against in Genesis 4:14-15?

How did Cain find a wife and he built a city for whom in Genesis 4:17?
