What is really amusing about all this is that I have had very little to say
about the Genesis 2:19 issue. I remember posting a statement that said a
Hebrew grammar I bought in college agreed with CREA's source on the function
of the waw consecutive, yet Turkel paints me as the guru of this issue and
all other skeptics on the list as my lackeys. I'm sure it's amusing to Ed
Tyler, CREA, Alward, and the many others who have disagreed with me that
they are considered my "thralls."
I'll ask Carter once again to urge Turkel to come onto this list where he
will have to debate in a forum that will not allow him to quote selectively.
