Science, Creation & EvolutionFinding God in His wordThank you Jovaro. I hope it does, I know it to be truth, it fits together too well to not be so. As a doctor, I was impressed by the discussion of "sick building syndrome" in exodus, where it discribes the mold on walls, it then goes through a discription of the protocol to burn the building. What always amazed me is that mold was not understood, nor any germs, for that matter, until the 19th century. These passages in the OT were written some 3500 years ago! There is no "earthly" way for mere men to have so innately understood to deal with mold in buildings by burning the building...heck, in modern times, we have just begun to understand this. The sanitary washing method to prevent disease spread, and even the avoidence of those animals that carried trichinosis in the diet, early on is amazing. Thorough cooking techniques were not common in these days, and these animals (pigs and others mentioned) carry what would have been, deadly disease. Somehow, "men" wrote a book of rules telling people to avoid these thing, and its incredible how fortunate they did! I found this to be nothing short of "divine" inspiration, since no human in those times could have come close to understanding what was written. After futher investigation, the Bible is too "supernatural" to not be inspired. I will admit that the Quran also has some aspects of "supernaturalism" to it, but I would caution that there are also some major glaring errors, which we would not at all want to attribute to a God we worship. In other words, the devils influence is real, and visible in that book. I loved one of the Quran's surahs that claim to travel to Allah would take between "1,000 and 50,000 years". Now if that doesn't sound like a man made idea!! OH, but wait!! I got one more man made idea for ya from Islam. If you and I, and our young college student Nick (we are all guys), were to sit down and discribe or make up "heaven" in our eyes from our "guy" perspective, I bet it would include lots of pretty woman at our beck and call. Maybe even virgins (every young, and some old, mens fantasy) to be surrounding us!! Yep, thats the Qurans idea of heaven. It says we will have lots of virgins to hang with when we get there!!! If THAT doesn't sound like something some guy would make up, NOTHING does. On the other hand, this is another reason I know the Bible was NOT made up by man: THERE IS NO SEX IN HEAVEN!!! NO MAN MAKES THAT UP, I PROMISE YOU THAT!!! Enjoy your search Jovaro...I love the discourse, and I hope it brings some insight. |
