re: #618 SanFranciscoZionist

I have to cover some of this with the sixth-graders for Social Studies. Wasn’t clear if the C-M were homo sapiens sapiens or no. Apparently, yes.

I also do religion with these guys, and I am sorely tempted to draw them a connection between the Ice Age and the expulsion from Eden, but

a. am not sure I can explain my idea to them and
b. am afraid Father B. will have a nervous breakdown

In other news, the seventh graders did lousy on their big Religion test on ‘true and truth’. I should have suggested that Mr. W. add ‘truthiness’ as a category.

I don’t think that there is any comparison to be made between the ice age and the Expulsion from Eden.

For one thing, the last Ice age was over 20,000 years ago, and by then, there were very many human groups spread over Africa, Europe and Asia.

Not all of those regions were icy.

Exactly where was Eden, and who got expelled?
