Actually I misstated the data available from Europe and the Americas since the 1600s, my dad conducted his body of work between 64-2011. Dad was a save the whales guy and tree hugger for many years, but when he was nearly his end of life he admitted he was wrong in being agnostic and about the democrats. I guess you just outgrow some idiotic beliefs if you live long enough.
Isn’t the definition of winter a “cold and snowy” period? Sheesh!
Your dad was a brilliant man. So was mine. It’s far more difficult for genius to come to a knowledge of God. God uses that which is simple to confound the wise.
