Archaea is an unknown quantity at this point

what is odd about fus's interpretation are the huge leaps in logic he's willing to make.

As a part-time linguist, I take issue with his concept of "perfection" which is at odds with the linguistical development behind the texts. In other words, Fus plays fast and loose with the textual fabric, bending it to some modern view of the cosmos, that we shouldn't be judgmental or something sixtiish.

The Genesis text stands for so much more and really has no reason to be interpreted that a, we are perfect because we are NOT, and b, don't be judgmental.

If that's what fuz takes from that text, then he missed the point entirely.
