"What we're finding," says Dr. Mary McDougall, president-elect of the American Association for Dental Research, "is that actually baby teeth and extracted third molars are a wonderful source for adult stem cells that have applications to a large number of tissues and focusing now on cartilage, bone fat, dentin enamel, and periodontal ligament."

Book On Nephilim about Old Testament Giants, Skyrockets On Charts - Teresa Neumann reporting  (Feb 21, 2005) "The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse" by Irish author, Patrick Heron, is a red-hot seller, now on the top 10 list at Amazon.com. A rather strange and perhaps controversial book to some, Heron takes on the challenge of one of the Old Testament's most baffling and intriguing scriptural references -- Genesis 6:4: "There were giants (Nephilim) in the Earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bare children to them."

Jordanian Dig Confirms Biblical Edom (February 21, 2005) Just-published evidence from a U.S.-directed archeological dig in Jordan further authenticates the Bible’s descriptions of the existence of the ancient nation of Edom during the eras of King David and his son, King Solomon.

The full results of the 2002 excavation by a team of international scholars at the site of Khirbet en-Nahas (“ruins of copper” in Arabic) are reported in the current issue of the British journal “Antiquity” published this week.

The new study, headed by archeology Prof. Thomas Levy of University of California, San Diego, contradicts much contemporary scholarship claiming – on the basis of no physical evidence – that no Edomite state existed before the 8th century BCE. Until the new discovery, many scholars said the Bible's numerous references to ancient Israel's interactions with Edom could not be valid.

While previous investigations in Edom had been carried out in the Jordanian highland zone and put the rise of the Edomite kingdom during the 8th to 6th centuries BCE, the new archeological data from modern-day Jordan presents strong evidence for the involvement of Edom with neighboring ancient Israel as described in the Bible and indicates the existence of the biblical nation of Edom at least as early as the 10th century BCE – when David and Solomon were alive.

The archeologists dug up evidence of construction of massive fortifications and industrial-scale metal production activities, as well as over 100 building complexes. Egyptian scarabs of a “walking sphinx” and a hunting scene provide additional evidence of metal-working activities at the site in the period around 1200 to 900 BCE.

The researchers note in their journal article that these results “push back the beginnings of Edom 300 years earlier than the current scholarly consensus and show the presence of complex societies, perhaps a kingdom, much earlier than previously assumed.”
