"we have a specific date of birth for the first man known by name in recorded history."

Have you even read the Bible? Who cares about women?

cross gender clone born?

Cool. I am a Scorpio and a fire horse. Wonder what he is in the Chinese Zodiac.

He co-opted the birth process, & had God fashion Eve from Adam's rib. Good grief. Where is the talking rabbit, late for a tea party?

Who bore him?

It's just for shits and giggles, of course, but it's fun to print out a list of 142 names going from you back to a suppose-ed Adam. Mine is through the ancestor Muirchertach mac Gilla Comgaill O Tuathail.

I guess it's just 142 generations because some of those old farts are counted as living a really long time -- Methuselah, Noah, etc. The list is considered accurate to a point -- back to the year 350 or so, if I remember right. After that??? There was bound to be considerable pressure on royal genealogists of old to make things connect. They liked having heads on their shoulders.

I will send him a birthday card, telling him he was about 10 million years late to the party.
