Why are other civilizations ignored in the Bible?
RE: Why are other civilizations ignored in the Bible?

Egypt is predominantly in Africa, correct?

Also Chas, do not overlook the fact that I use terms like "generally" and "region".

This thread is not about me trying to convince you that Adam and Eve originated in locale (X). Rather, out of respect for catman, I am writing what I am to explain to him why the Bible focuses on one specific nation of people. In order to do this a little background information was necessary.

Nor do I believe that Adam and Eve originated in South Africa in the area commonly referred to as the Cradle of Humankind. I do not believe Adam and Eve were "monkey people" or cave men who lived millions of years ago. Maybe this is what catman was referring to when he used the word Africa.

Once again, to derail this thread into a discourse on origins is not respectful to catman. I ask that we try to remain on topic.

Once again, this is not a thread on whether or not the Chinese could have existed at time (T), but rather, why, if the Bible is the Word of God, is one nation the focal point of the Biblical narrative.

It did happen, there is plenty of evidence for it and this thread is not about the flood.

If you would like to discuss this then please start a new thread.

Why don't you provide some and we can evaluate it.

I have so much to provide that I need to know from you specifically where to start and what you would find convincing.

Now I ask you once again, what would you consider to be evidence for God's existence? What would convince you?
