Brother Alexander thank you for your insightful series on Genesis 5. I've read through each post and I'm now re-reading. I've been looking for answers to the Gen5 genealogy for as long as I can remember, but recently my search intensified. I began to feel desperate to find a viable, reasonable answer - or answers. My faith was on the line because Real Observations were at odds with Scriptural Inerrancy. My soul cried out to God and his Spirit gave me a vision of an enthralling, beautiful scene of twinkling, shimmering stars couched in a nebula painted in shades of violet - all in relation to the genealogy. It feels strange to me to claim such a thing as a vision, I think it always will. Regardless, the vision persisted in my heart and mind. What a strange association, I thought. This is something I had not considered.

Thank God for search engines, because I found your post, this obscure post, specifically, moments after I set finger to key to find if this association was real. I find your series far too convincing for comfort. I am startled. I demand answers.

I love science and reason, but I love God as well. To me these are interchangeable, in that God is truth and he birthed reason. Proper science is 'merely' a methodologized search for truth. It is my fervent attachment to truth that has repeatedly led me to the God of Israel. Loving truth is loving God and I love him.

My plan is to walk carefully through each post and ask questions accordingly. I am hoping and praying you might have the time and inclination to answer.

Again, Thank You.
