How is that? Are you saying some author should be able to supercede scripture?

As I have always said the verses used as support to a Pre Adamite world provides fodder for thought but nothing in scripture confirms it.
The whole concept is based on speculation and an assumed understanding of ancient Hebrew words and their meanings.
Any expert in Hebrew will readily admit that many of the definitions we assign to Hebrew words may or may not be correct. That they may encompass more or less that they were actually intended to encompass with their meanings. We know for a fact many Hebrew words and their meanings were lost to us and others were distorted by 400 years of slavery in Egypt. Many believe Moses or other Hebrew scholars had to redefine words whose original intended meaning had been lost to the Hebrew people. This occurred again during the Assyrian and Babylonian captivity.
So while it is interesting to consider a Pre Adamite world it must remain classified as speculation rather than proven fact.
Hi Ed,
Just wondering how many books on the Pre-Adamite world do you own, if any?
Other than Dakes books non.
Since it obviously can't be proven by scripture so why would I want to read more idle speculation.
I guess there is could be some case made for reading about it more. But I think it could become like the old adage of a lie repeated often enough it becomes truth. That is not saying Pre Adamite world is a lie simply unprovable. But if one were to always read about it, dwelt upon it, immersing one's person into it long enough it could become fact like to them. While the rest of us still view it as idle speculation.
Above when asked how many books on the Pre-adamite world do you own, you replied: NONE!
May I say that anyone reading your comments on the subject would already know that.
It is sort of like me talking as an authority on being a chef! Just because I eat food does not mean I know how to cook it.
I said if it can't be clearly seen in scripture I do not what to be convinced by crafty Wordsmitting of some author. I would hope you hold the same view.
As to your chef's analogy. I have seen chefs serve people a plate of food telling them it was steak in some fancy dish. Which they ate and remarked how good the steak was. Then the chef revealed it was not steak at all in fact it wasn't meat. You see they allowed the crafty chef make them think they were eating meat when in fact they weren't. How? He cleverly hide it in the fancy dish. That is exactly how many authors handle the word of God swearing the whole time it is truth from the world of God.
