How old is the earth? Just take the past 5,000 years, how far technically man has come...follish to think we are the first great (so called civilization) -- when the bible talks of creation, timelines, much is spiritual truth, applying to many generations even civilizations. Yes, man will fall again, and again, and again. Till we get right with God. Not a one of us, has ever left this world for long. We are dead...and death will repeat over and over. Few know it.

The poet's goal instead should be to bring the second and third persons as close together as possible.
