Another way of putting it is not that we are getting down to presuppositions but we are delving deeply into speculation. I'm not sure that the Scriptures require us to take a position on whether writing was present from the beginning of mankind or was a later invention, or the relative date of cuneiform to other forms of script. Do we know for sure what language Adam and Eve spoke? Although I haven't read the book for a while, I suspect Wiseman's assumptions here are actually quite different from yours.I tend to the theory that we have written records from Adam. That necessarily predates anything else. Mesopotamian cuneiform may have been contemporary with later descendants but as Adams descendants the postulated clay tablets from Adam predate them. We are talking antediluvian records which necessarily predate later civilisations. It is interesting that we are really getting down to presuppositions.
