Dr. Kirk:
Generally in history books, one finds dates and years. Very few in Genesis. Whoa. Are there any? Where is a king talked about including Ch. 14 which has several kings. And what nations are mentioned? Or will you let us simply have citystates as is the modern and critical consensus, if one dare call it a consensus. Are we going to call the geneologies/teledoth king lists? Please.

Point taken. If history books require dates or need to be about a single nation, then Herodotus is no longer the Father of History because he gave no dates and wrote about many nations, and in fact history is a 19th century invention.
