Again, as a scientist AND a Semitist, I will resist the temptation to
address ignorance of science in a forum designed for the discussion of
linguistics.  I will only correct the error....the Theory of Evolution is
indeed falsifiable, otherwise it would not be elevated to the level of
certainity of a theory.  It is just that after 150 years of collective FACTS
that the theory explains, not ONE has YET falsified it.  Hopefully, y'all
know a LOT more about Hebrew than you do science.  Let's stick with the
Hebrew.
