THE BIBLE: God’s Word or Man’s?

[downbeatplumb]

Not only does Bible chronology date human existence to only about 6,000 years, but written human history that has no connection with the Bible (secular history) only goes back about 5,500 years. In other words, secular history doesn't help your case for the age of man's existence.[/size][/color]

The fragments of pottery are about 5,500 years old

Exclusive by BBC News Online Science Editor Dr David Whitehouse

The first known examples of writing may have been unearthed at an archaeological dig in Pakistan.

So-called 'plant-like' and 'trident-shaped' markings have been found on fragments of pottery dating back 5500 years.

They were found at a site called Harappa in the region where the great Harappan or Indus civilisation flourished four and a half thousand years ago.

Harappa was originally a small settlement in 3500 BC but by 2600 BC it had developed into a major urban centre.

The earliest known writing was etched onto jars before and after firing. Experts believe they may have indicated the contents of the jar or be signs associated with a deity.

According to Dr Richard Meadow of Harvard University, the director of the Harappa Archaeological Research Project, these primitive inscriptions found on pottery may pre-date all other known writing.

I Will address the other part of your rebuttal in another post.

This is like saying there were no humans before the forties because there werent computers before then!

You ignore all the pre-writen evidence and say "humanity started with cuniform, right at the worlds start"

You are prepared to ignore any and all evidence that in any way contradicts your prejudice and then claim we are blinkered.

You are a hypocrite, I guess at some level you already know that.
