No! A) Sons of Noah is a twentieth-century religious concept for a group of fundamentalist former Christians that rejects the divinity of Christ and adheres to the Old Testament. B) It is not a theory, it is a biblical myth explaining the origins of different peoples. Danny

OK, what would be a better name for this wrong-idea-that-still-is-an-encyclopedia-topic? The Anome

Danny and Anome, sorry if I edit-conflicted with you guys. I can return to this topic in a few hours if you need time with it now. :-) --Ed Poor

I'd just like to say that the version of 08:00 Aug 14, 2002 was a nicely-developing article, and I'm sure that, after Danny's deletion of most of the text in it, he's going to replace it with a much better article, complete with improved scholarship. The Anome

Give it a chance. You are including things that are utterly irrelevant to the topic, and making assumptions that are wrong. See what you wrote on Japheth, for instance. It refers to a specific grouping of peoples, not "all the rest." I will try to write something a bit more contemporary, but these edit conflicts are killing me. Danny

I'll try to restrain myself, but eventually I'd like to put in something about the 3 Biblical characters as background for the myth explaining the origins of different peoples. I daresay if readers see the Genesis account contrasted with the myth, they might actually learn something. --Ed Poor

Danny, to avoid edit conflict, I waited a half hour before my most recent edit. I will wait some more, before my next. Please craft this into a well-written article. --Ed Poor


Danny, your new article looks really good. The Anome
Thanks, now can we think of a better name for it. "Sons of Noah" has a modern meaning which is quite unrelated. I will work on that topic tomorrow. Danny
