David,

> What is your understanding of Hinduism? As far as what I've learned, there's a strong argument that at its core it's monotheistic as well. (All gods are manifestations of a single entity: Brahman.) -About what I thought might be the case without confirming it. The Indians I met in India made it sound a bit like your concept.

> Also... the age of Zorastrianism makes it a contender with Judaism for age of monotheistic thought. (Some scholars place Zoroaster as being born between 1100BCE and 1750BCE making it slightly to extremely older than Judaism.) Clearly, 2nd Temple Judaism (especially the Enochic literature) relied heavily upon Zoroastrian mythology.-I had read that there were possibly other groups that entertained montheistic thought, but I didnot pursue it. I'm not sure how far back Judaism goes but the calendar is taken from the estimated age of the Garden of Eden

> I... realize I'm criticizing well after the book has been published. But at the same time these are questions I would ask any other author. -You are commenting, not criticising in my view.
