Many, but not all citations are mentioned explicitly in the text. Some describe a contrary opinion to that accepted by the characters in their pursuit of the truth, and so citations listed here should not all be considered as supporting evidence, but indeed are part of the ongoing conversation to resolve our ultimate position in the universe.

Note that the four primary civilizations in the middle latitudes of the Old World--in Asia and Africa--were set in riverine environments. The presence of a great river is often considered a major factor in the rise and development of these civilizations.

Goldschmidt, Richard, The Material Basis of Evolution, Yale University Press (1940) Goldschmidt was an early contrarian to the neoDarwinians that predominated in the early 20th century. As professor of Zoology at the University of California, Goldschmidt used empirical evidence to support microevolution (evolution within a species) but to refute the claims of macroevolution (evolution between species). In this work, the term hopeful monster was first coined. He attempted to demonstrate that Darwin’s theory was correct by considering animals that fossilized easily. He failed, and was a technical outcast for years. Today, his work still stands but macroevolution is being supported by extending hybridization (See macroevolution.net)

Josephus, The Jewish Antiquities, (about AD 90). Available as Josephus Complete Works by J. I. Packer, Merrill C. Tenney, Nelson Reference (1998) ISBN: 0785214275. Josephus was born in Jerusalem ca. AD 38 and became a historian writing principally about the Jewish people. He mentions Jesus Christ (i.e. the so-called Testimonium Flavinium) in two passages, Ant. 18.3.3 and 20.9.1.10. There does not appear to be anything in both of Josephus’ accounts that would necessarily disagree with the Gospel writers. The problem seems to be whether Jospehus actually penned the final form of the first passage (i.e. Ant. 18.3.3) as we have it today. The opinion of scholars, since the sixteenth century or so, has been divided. Some say that the saying as a whole is authentic. Others say that parts of the saying are from the hand of Josephus and that parts are Christian additions. And, thirdly, there are those who regard the whole statement as spurious—totally a Christian interpolation, as the flavor of the paragraph is in sharp distinction to the others.

Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day.
— The Jewish Antiquities, 18.3.3.

Ultimately, he moves toward a theology of evolution.

Lamarck, Jean-Baptiste, Philosophie Zoologique, Flammarion (1997) ISBN: 2080707078, [Original publication 1809]. Lamarck (1774–1829) was a French botanist who proposed two ideas that had great impact in the theory of evolution. He did not believe in extinction, but that every member of a species would evolve into another species; he believed that change was brought about through use and disuse and inheritance of acquired characteristics.

This is the holy book of the Islamic faith as dictated to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel.

And (We said): O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the garden; so eat from where ou desire, but do not go near this tree, for then you will be of the unjust. But the Satan made an evil suggestion to them that he might make manifest to them what had been hidden from them of their evil inclinations, and he said: Your Lord has not forbidden you this tree except that you may not both become two angels or that you may (not) become of the immortals. And he swore to them both: Most surely I am a sincere adviser to you. Then he caused them to fall by deceit; so when they tasted of the tree, their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves of the garden; and their Lord called out to them: Did I not forbid you both from that tree and say to you that the Satan is your open enemy?

Schroeder, Gerald The Science of God: The Convergence of Scientific and Biblical Wisdom, The Free Press (1997) ISBN:0-684-83736-6. Schroeder, a physicist from MIT compares popular scientific theories about the formation of the universe with the creation story in Genesis. He notes:

To account for life on Earth, scientific theories require that either life was planted on Earth from outer space or an exotic property of molecular self-organization rapidly joined the necessary chemicals into self-replicating molecules and then a yet-to-be-discovered series of catalysts developed these fecund molecules into life itself.

According to the fossil record, gradual evolution has been found to be false at every major morphological change. The fossil record regularly fails to give any hint at the basic anatomical levels that a change in morphology was in the offing. The record’s leaps and bounds, Darwin claimed, were the result of its being incomplete.

One-celled organisms sprang to life as soon as water was present, 3.8 billion years ago. There is no clear-cut path from the primordial soup to life. 650 million years ago, simple globular forms formed, known as Ediacaran Fauna. 530 million years ago, the Cambrian Era was the start of all life extant today, simultaneously in the oceans. This explosion of life is one of the centuries greatest discoveries.

And I, Lehi, according to the things which I have read, must needs suppose that an angel of God, according to that which is written, had fallen from heaven; wherefore, he became a devil, having sought that which was evil before God. And because he had fallen from heaven, and had become miserable forever, he sought also the misery of all mankind. Wherefore, he said unto Eve, yea, even that old serpent, who is the devil, who is the father of all lies, wherefore he said: Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die, but ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil. And after Adam and Eve had partaken of the forbidden fruit they were driven out of the garden of Eden, to till the earth.

This book focuses mainly on the concept that everything is intimately related and connected, and the "Noosphere" exists where we can access this dimension. Finally, he introduces the Omega Point as a means to bring everything under one concept.

White, Ellen G., The Story of Patriarchs and Prophets (1890). Organized what eventually became known as the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Ellen G. White (1827-1915) was regarded by supporters as a modern-day prophet. From Chapter 3, "The Temptation and Fall," she writes:

In order to accomplish his work unperceived, Satan chose to employ as his medium the serpent--a disguise well adapted for his purpose of deception. The serpent was then one of the wisest and most beautiful creatures on the earth. It had wings, and while flying through the air presented an appearance of dazzling brightness, having the color and brilliancy of burnished gold. Resting in the rich-laden branches of the forbidden tree and regaling itself with the delicious fruit, it was an object to arrest the attention and delight the eye of the beholder. Thus in the garden of peace lurked the destroyer, watching for his prey.

Williams, Patricia, Doing without Adam and Eve: Sociobiology and Original Sin, Augsburg Fortress (2001) ISBN:0-8006-3285-0. Williams suggests that the entire story of Adam and Eve should be ignored and forgotten, and replaced with the scientific view of evolution.
