The woman was formed from man's rib.
It is way beyond mathematical probability for man to have evolved but let's say he did. Why did women evolve?
What made men and women marry? And why marry each other? Was it accidental or had TV already evolved and transmitted soap operas to encourage this behavior? Or was there something else? When did legislation evolve? Is there written contemporaneous documentation establishing exactly when legislation evolved?
Also why do men and women share this attribute - both cut down trees, turn the tree into paper and write on the paper 'save trees.' Other species don't do this.

So if he gives his fees to charity why does he need fees? And if he gives to charity why doesn't he do it privately? I suppose you could pay him $14.00 and ask him.
(Matthew 6:1-4) . . .“Take good care not to practice your righteousness in front of men in order to be observed by them; otherwise you will have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens. 2 Hence when you go making gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you, just as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, They are having their reward in full. 3 But you, when making gifts of mercy, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, 4 that your gifts of mercy may be in secret; then your Father who is looking on in secret will repay you.

Got anything other that prof so-and-so's say so? Believe him cause he/she is like GB and knows better than you and me?
How much does David Fitzgerald charge for his book? And the subscription to New Scientist? I am surprised they can't give it away free given the money they must be making advertising gadgets, jobs, market research services, fine wines and airlines.
Ever wondered how academics get their positions? Just sayin'.
I know there are cognitive processes which replace God with a big number. But what if you take the big number out? And whether that big number is in or out, how do you end up at a year of a cow? What number is Cow?
Oh it is an era. Looks like the Japanese era names started in 140 BCE (Julian Calendar) during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. So this year is the year of the Vaccine. Cause the word vaccine comes from the word 'cow'. La vache.
The use of era names was originally derived from Chinese imperial practice. And although the Japanese use era names they use the Gregorian calendar.
So - so far we have Gregorian Calendar which by its very nature recognises Jesus Christ and the Jewish calendar which by its very nature recognises the creation of Adam. Then there's Iran. Anyone really want to go there?

In your opinion but the letters after the year are AD. So whatever you view it does not make you right.
Besides Epoch time which is probably on your computer is counted as the year turns from Dec to Jan. It counts in seconds from midnight 1/1/1970 - and that's the Gregorian Calendar.
Why is it 5782 in in Israel? It is telling you how long ago they think it is since Adam was created. Also, they are on the lunar calendar, which is why the Gregorian date of the Passover changes every year. Gregorian is a solar calendar, but Nisan 14 when Jesus died is a month and day from the Jewish lunar calendar.

I would ask him why he is charging $14.00.
(Matthew 10:7-8) . . .As you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ 8 Cure sick people, raise up dead persons, make lepers clean, expel demons. You received free, give free.

Ask him if he will give you $14.00 for asking a question on the basis of:
(Luke 6:38) . . .Practice giving, and people will give to you. They will pour into your laps a fine measure, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing. For with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you in return.. . .
If he gives you $14.00 you could give it back to him.
