[Vision2020] Question for the biblical scholars

Have your read the current issue of Skeptical Inquirer. It has some interesting articles. Also the March 19 issue of Newsweek has an interesting article on human evolution. There are some inconsistencies the time frames, probably because it it written by a lay person. Interesting none the less.
