Pity the Poverty of the Poor Yec (America, dogma, organization)

[Jayhawker Soule]

I just received my latest issue of the Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research. It contains articles such as "The Spreading of Objects and Ideas in the Late Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean: Two Case Examples from the Argolid of the 13th and 12th Centuries B.C." and reviews of books like "Neanderthals in the Levant: Behavioral Organization and the Beginnings of Human Modernity" and "Sha'ar Hagolan I: Neolithic Art in Context". These are but a few of hundreds and hundreds of such studies.

This is an exciting, perhaps even glorious, time for science. More and more details of the tapestry of civilization are being revealed daily much as the tree of life is being brought into ever greater focus. And so much of this fascinating beauty must of necessity be dismissed or distorted by those sustained by the thin gruel of Yec dogmatism. It really is a pity.

It must be taxing to be so unproductive in trying to harmonize explosive discovery with stale words. I share your concern.
