Has anyone considered the implication of Genesis 2:24 in relation to this discussion?

Why didn't you think of that?

I did think of it, of course. But I am late coming to this thread and was not about to read every tedious argument and repetition of argument and rebuttal and repetition of rebuttal until my eyes glazed over. It read as much of that falderall as I could stand and rather than repeat words of wisdom which yourself or other esteemed colleague may have proferred, I assert myself tenuously.That said, one of my professors of religion, many years ago, explained this verse as evidence of just that: Matrilineal Heritage. Do you suppose that matrilineal heritage and patrilineal genealogy can coexist, or perhaps did exist at one time?
