A Useful Comparison
oid A SIMPLE arithmetic operation shows that 10,000 years correspond to no more than 300 generations. As to Christian ethics-it is a surprising and rather hopeful fact that the Sermon on the Mount was given only 63 generations ago, It would be, by the way, of considerable advantage if we measured human history in the biological unit of generations instead of meaningless astronomical years. We often repeat yet we rarely perceive the fact that, biologically speaking, mankind is still in its early infancy."-Arthur Koestler.
