Memphis, Egypt

[Jazer]

Today if you want modern go to Shanghai. Some people consider it the most modern city in the world. If your from China that is the place to go if you want to study music, the arts, or fashion design.

5000 years ago the city on the move was Memphis Egypt. That was the most modern city in the world and one exciting happening place to live. If you were a skilled or semi skilled craftsman, designer, builder then you were a very popular person and a well paid person. If we were to go to your house today you would have lots of stuff. Pottery with all the latest designs, jewlery and all sorts of metal work.

It is funny how cities come and go. We know that Shanghai will not be around for long, it is slowly sinking into the ocean. Like London, New York, Miami, and other cities it will soon be gone. Perhaps a city is like a flower that comes to bloom.

That is one thing people just do not understand about the Bible. The Bible talks about first fruits. That is when the fruit tree begins to produce fruit. Or olives or grapes or whatever. In the beginning is not when the seed first begins to sprout or take root. It's when the tree begins to produce and be productive.

So God created the earth when human civilization was beginning to flourish?

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

So God created the earth when human civilization was beginning to flourish?

God created the age or the era we live in about 13,000 years ago. I believe a day in the Bible is 1000 years. So the era or age we now live in began when the last ice age ended. Science call it the Neolithic Revolution. We do not have recorded history before the Revolution, so we have to go more by archeology to know what was going on. We know that Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden 6,000 years ago. There is a theory called theistic evolution that says Adam evolved from something that came before him. Adam in the garden would be the y chromosome J Haplogroup that gets split to the J1 and J2 Haplogroup. This of course is a post neolithic group. Of course this is still a work in progress. This is what they have discovered so far:
