The author is a religious crank. From his description of
himself:
While on business trips for IBM picked up UFO books in
airports and was stunned by parallel descriptions castigated
by mainline science and religion. Learned of Urantia Papers
in 1967. Pulled back to the Bible in summer of 1967. This
led to recognition that:
1. A high level of intelligence was operating around our
planet.
2. The intelligence was from the highest religious universe
administration.
3. A master destiny program was underway for our world.

From the essay:
On this basis we shall find that Adam and Eve were the
parents of a special race intended to uplift evolutionary
man. Although their efforts were terminated by their
default, they left biological imprint upon all of us, as
well as cultural influence. Their children spread
throughout Europe and into the Asiatic subcontinent of
India to produce Caucasoid man. They also left some
imprint on the Oriental races, and into Oceania. They did
not directly modify the black or red men.
Spanish men of high rank and nobility were addressed as
_Don_. ... In ancient Rome Dominus meant Lord or Master,
just as the Spanish Don meant Lord or Master. Through the
Roman conquests of the Iberian peninsula linguists believe
the Spanish Don and Portuguese Dom derive from the Latin
Dominus. ... However, the clear phonetic identity with
the Don river names now brings that traditional etymology
into question.'
The present study reaches beyond this rigorous scholarly method.
No kidding!

More nonsense:
We must keep in mind that [Greek] has many non-Adamic
elements, and is in fact based upon pagan Polytheism.
Many authorities on the subject will agree that indeed
many of the classical languages were related and in fact
evolved from or into one another. They will admit that
the Ancient Greek language was intimately related to
Phoenician. This is not theory, but fact traceable
through stone inscriptions left by each of these
cultures.
It would be nice if you'd spare us the nut cases.
