  Thanks , dear 'cakes, the Jw's have a real problem with this, they have two choices, either try and deny all the "secular" evidence and go with the Bible as literal history, or say that the Bible is not literal, and then nearly all of their doctrine falls apart.

  What to do for the average JDub and the Writing Comm/GB ? Ignore, as usual.

  Ignore the Truth.

  Seeing it all laid out like that puts things in perspective huh?

  Here's a related article from The Onion called "Sumerians Look on in Confusion as God Creates the World". Love that title...

  Thank you so much for this poopsiecakes, I had been looking for something like this for a long time.

  However, how do scientists accurately reach dates? Any info on that? I would greatly appreciate it.

  It's a bit out of date, I think that there is info that dates civilization much further back, about 10K years ago if I recall.
