Dr.M.DEIVAnayagam, a Disciple has proved with Doctral Thesis that entire Tamil Knowledge is from missionary work of Saint.Thomas, apostle of Our Lord Jesus, and we need to acknowledge this.

All the major religions of today and all ancient cultures of pre historic period had knowledge from Ancient tamil culture. Kindly Visit my post in 'History of tamils' column.
The doctorate degree might be awarded to Deivanayakam for his comparative studies. Thiru.Meenakshi Sundaram Pillai also made this kind of comparative studies like " Asthtthayiyium Tholkappiayamum".
If Deivanayakam insists on the theory that Tamils came from Europe which some Indo-European scholars still believes, that should be summarily rejected because man evolution could not be possible in cold European environment.
The linking elements that are found as truth as I explained in this column shall prove culture went south to north or north west.

WHERE DID ALL THESE KNOWLEDGE COME FROM?

Never mind!! If Tamil indeed came from Hebrew and all its knowledge from Israel, then alas! we cannot but admit it and just be happy about it. We should give credit when it is due and to whom it should rightly belong!!
But two German professors have drawn striking similarity between Sermon on the Mount and Bhuddist scriptures. with the possibility ("proof" they say ) that NT materials were from Bhuddism.
Now you have to discuss in tripartite terms. Bhuddism, Christianity and VaLLuvam. You also should be aware Bhuddism was prevalent in TN at around the Sangam period (see MaNimEkalai).
Jesus is said to have professed Adwaitham philosophy prevalent in part of Hindusim or the old religion of India prior to Bhudda. He was also said to have been buried in Pakistan (which of course the Church cannot agree).
What I am saying is: Mr Paulthomas, before anything, please sort out all these conflicting data so that we can prepare ourselves to receive Dr Deivanayagam. WHERE DID ALL THESE KNOWLEDGE COME FROM? THE real SOURCE!
It appears now that we are going into an area which is called a collateral issue ( not directly relevant to the topic but only relevant to something relevant) but since you have brought it up a second time in this forum, I have to seek your learned clarification!!
