I think it shows that the time man has been on earth is much less that scientists would have us believe, and to me that is so exciting.
I also like Larry (Boanerges) explanation, about God using the least likely, He does, those who in the worlds eyes are nothing, amazing.

Jax? The ark landed in that area after the flood. It's hard to say what the earth looked like before the flood. We can only speculate with the few bits of information the bible gives us. Even with that it's a pretty light picture.

Interesting thoughts about that.
I only recently learned that Moses wasn't quite the confident speaker as portrayed in the movies,
but was "slow of speech", which suggests he may have even stuttered.

God took a man raised as a prince and broke him through 40 years in the desert. A young Moses began to sense the call of God on his life, he tried fulfilling it in his own strength and became a murderer. From prince to fugitive and then Sheppard- God removed all fleshly pride from Moses- it was only then he was fit to use.
