For a week I have been considering further evidence that something incredible happened around the time that humans decided to record the events of history. Which in itself is either very amazing or very simple and obvious.
So let's start there with writing. I have said somewhere that Humans could not help, but discover the art of writing. This was in defense of a recent creation. However equally feasible is the concept that Adam was equal in all respects, brain capacity, DNA and physical appearance, but different in some special way, making him (Adam) very different to the other homo sapiens who coexisted with him on Earth. If a type of human lived on Earth for several hundred millenniums and they left no evidence of inventing writing then I have a real problem with that or they were not the humans that I know. Never mind about the discovery of the use of fire, the bronze and iron ages. I'm going there soon.
What about the Clay Age? The people of Samaria (of cuneiform fame) used clay tablets for writing upon, during the Bronze Age.
These 'ages' came so fast on each other's heels they overlapped. What started that Age of Enlightenment?

A new look at Homo Sapiens
Rosebank Union Church (RUC) in Johannesburg is the physical Church where I occasionally attend. I guess that hints that I attend a church that is not a physical place.
Well in a sense that may be true. I generally attend the Spirit Word Channel Church that is of course a physical place and I have been there, but I typically attend there as a virtual church.
I receive the transmissions from Spirit Word via a satellite signal. It is also available on the Internet.
I attend as a virtual person may be more accurate, but I am not a member of any physical Church and thus cannot speak on the behalf of any Church.
Forgive me I am rambling away from the point, but I wanted you to understand me and my relationship to RUC, where an amazing series of three talks is taking place. The three talks are from a book that is not yet published. It is a preview and extract about the fascinating topic of the Creation.
This is a topic that is close to the heart of Adam's Clay which is a story sprinkled with truth as I mentioned before so the discussion about Creation is relevant.
This series of talks is presented by a Christian Lawyer who has examined at the evidence, both scientific and biblical and has concluded that these two sources of evidence agree.
I know that there is now disbelief that this cannot be true, from both sides of the argument. The biblical record and the scientific discoveries are contradictory.
When the book is published I will announce the details and you read and decide, however there is one of the many points I want to examine further and share this with you.
Science claims that Homo Sapiens, as a species, has existed on Earth for a much longer time than proclaimed by the Bible.
You might ask how does the Christian legal mind accept that these two contradictory claims are in accord with one another.
Well for them both to be true then there must be a time when Homo Sapiens lived before the Adam and Eve of the Bible. This a logical and obvious claim and one that can only be made when one accepts that both the claims of Science and of the Bible are both true. Most people would take sides and not see the logic of this option.
In my book Sam finds the source of God's Truth and was horrified that while he knew the truth it was not good enough to be used as 'Stand Up In Court Evidence'. Even though he didn't realise it immediately even God's Truth was tainted by his own perception.
Truth cannot be compared to evidence, but evidence is all that we can use.
So what is the evidence that something strange changed about the time that Adam and Eve lived? That is what I want to examine over the next few posts of this blog.

Hey Geoff Wot's the recipe for your book?
Well, take a big slice of science fiction, sprinkle it with truth, add an African flavour, bring in some evil characters for the tension, have plenty of scientific wonders and surprise everyone with a controversial twist in the tale (pun on tail).

Sam discovers the SuperNet
Imagine my amazement. I came straight from the jungles of Africa into the High Tech world of New-Ray Tech Inc., met many great people who were really interested in me and then they swoop me off to the Moon of all places.
In a short time I 'acquire' more knowledge than I can contain. Fortunately my boss-lady called Angelique gives me a crash course on using it and I become the smartest sangoma alive.
I treat technology with disdain. I have no need of it; my super brain is more than I need, until I have something to say to a lot of people, not people I know but they know me and I need to tell them things that are really important.
My best friend says I must get a Pet on the Net. So I do. She shows me how and now I can communicate. It's wonderful.
I'm sure your first question is, "What's a Pet?"
Good question, it's a persona emulator or translator or something. They have some fancy name, but it is a program that is me, or rather my personality, that lives on the Super Net. It is so much like me because it learns to be me - smart hey?
Now this pet, which is me can communicate with all the other pets in the world, and off the world for that matter and it acts like a personal secretary answering my mail, and more importantly rejects the mail I don't want.
Of course it tells all those people I mentioned my good news as well and they can choose to accept it or reject it and my pet gives me statistics so I don't waste my time if no one is listening.
Ok, you say, but what's a sangoma and what's the good news?
All in good time but sign up or rather subscribe to this pet, oops I mean blog and I will let you know all about my exciting life.
