Marsha: You have really opened up Pandora's box here. It strikes me that all of us so involved in genealogy are really seeking their origins, No small feat. This thread opens the door to an endless search into comparative mythology, which is a admirable and daunting ask. And yes, the "Holy Bible" falls into the category of mythology. It was a shame on the Holy Catholic Church when the burned the library at Alexandria and a further shame when the they came up the Council of Nicea and obliterated at least thalf of the gospels. The murderous acts of the Holy Catholic Church over the centuries in the name of "GOD" are too numerous to mention. It is absolutely sickening. Hitler did not invent the Holocaust. He merely perfected it. I for one would be most interested in yours and others thoughts on the origins of man.

The correct name of Brian Sykes' book on the mtDNA is The Seven Daughters of Eve....and while the author takes the liberty of using Historical Fiction methods to describe the seven women who are said to be the clan mothers of most of the European or American of European descent people, most of his book tells about his own very scientific studies on DNA. It is extremely readable and fun. Marsha Moses On Dec 18, 2008, at 11:30 AM, John Hogg wrote: > Uh Oh > > .... > Marsha: > > You have really opened up Pandora's box here.

This post was much too hateful and off topic to have ever been posted. Shame. J. On Dec 18, 2008, at 10:19 AM, Craig Kilby wrote: > Marsha: > > You have really opened up Pandora's box here.
