I'm back! @Perfection It's almost 2:00 AM in the morning but I wanted to respond briefly before I go to sleep because, I love this subject and I am passionate about it!
"But I'm wondering if you can provide some time lines please. I'm not seeing any in your analysis. For example, above you explain that "...Modern Mankind...is traced back to one individual out of Africa..."
When? 1k years ago? 3k years ago? Will you be able to provide some kind of working time-line please."
The timeline offered by scientist today is completely different from the Biblical timelines on the very same topic or the origins of modern mankind! So even though the timelines differ, however, their conclusions are the exact same! Both sources state that all modern mankind come from one male individual out of Africa. So then, here are the differences in timelines;
kya
This is the unit that modern scientist use and also 'mya'. kya means a thousand years ago.
mya means a million years ago. And so, the dates given about the origin of modern mankind goes back to 50,000 years ago.
One aspect of todays' scientist though, would be that they do state their timelines are 'theoretical' and back in 1950s, they based their findings about human origins on 'carbon dating'. The problem with carbon dating is that the timeline prior to 45,000 years ago, it theoretical because the carbon extracted from human bones, cannot be confirmed earlier than 45,000 years ago.
I will get some references later, hopefully when I get up.
Now concerning Biblical timeline, that is based on astronomy and because astronomy is 'an exact science', these timelines can be confirmed with accuracy. Therefore, science scholars today, agree with Biblical timelines for one main reason:
The First Civilizations!
Both secular scientist and ancient records agree with the records of the earliest human civilizations that formed.
Therefore, do I base my research; on a contrast and comparison with ancient civilizations and their timelines.
For example:
In AD 2002, all science reports have recorded the planetary alignment of which synchronizes all timelines from ancient times to this day. The reason why I know this is because, I heard it being reported on the 6:00 News and so, I set my alarm clock and was up at 5:00 AM that next morning to witness it myself. I still can't believe it, but I did see it. Afterwards, i went to a planetarium to watch a show. This planetary alignment occurred on April 16, 2002 @ 6:00 PM in the Middle East, but it was still visible that next morning but only for less than an hour before the sun came up. I couldn't believe it, but I saw it.
The scientist say that exactly 2000 years prior was the exact same planetary alignment with the exception of the later planets.
So, for this reason, I have been able to compare and contrast ancient timelines and can see that even though secular timelines differ from timelines of ancient civilizations like ancient Egyptian timelines, Sumer, Crete, and of course Israel, they all agree when it comes to modern mankind.
Modern mankind developed civilizations. This is the key to the origins of modern mankind.
A civilization is defined based on 'record keeping'.
The ancient Sumerians were MASTERS at record keeping.
Archaeologist have unearthed thousands of their cuneiform tablets and can date them to be around
4000s BC.
yes, I have developed timelines that mark exact historical events.
There are three (3) terms that can be confusing:
Anthropologist, Archaeologist and Paleontologist, and these scientist help to date human history both Primitive and modern mankind.
"And my second query to you is, just so I know I'm clear about your analysis, do I hear you saying that this "one individual out of Africa" is the first and oldest and therefore the beginning of the --and I say this in quotes-- "black race"?"
Yes, absolutely! That is what I am saying. Prior to the 'creation' of humans that express 'eumelanin', along with 'nappy hair', I do not know. But primitive humans existed for thousands of years prior to humans that are dated to express 'eumelanin' in their skin cells. In other words, Black skinned humans are a new creation. And ancient records are redundant in the association of humans with the planet earth in relation to being 'black'. A lot of us may not realize it but the planet earth is defined as being 'black' in some regions and the word 'Kemet' is just one word that describes this.
Both the planet earth and its' satellite are defined the same, as being 'black'.
In NASA, this is confirmed. The astronauts were reported as being shocked when they reached the moon and saw that
the moon sand was BLACK!
The early Europeans reported in surprise when they first came to the ancient Americas and in certain regions they saw that the ground was black. Texas is one such region where this was reported. So Africa is not the only region on earth that shows this geology. If anyone lives in Ohio, West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania, it is crazy to drive through the mountains and see the black mountains where coal was abundant. So, I don't believe the ancient scriptures were wrong when it says that mankind was made from the dust of the earth!
Hopefully, I can add more to this in the other thread that you started!
