Science has, on many, many occasions served to shut down certain critics of religion and religious history. In particular, the Old Testament of the Christian Bible (based on the Jewish Torah) and the New Testament have been the target of naysayers, atheists, and Leftist revisionist historians for centuries. With the advent of modern technology and scientific theory and exploration, archaeological excavation has uncovered corroborating evidence time and time again that clarified and verified long-held assertions by Jews and Christians that the books of the Bibles (both Jewish and Christian) are accurate and true histories of what has already occurred in ages past.
If you’re like me, you enjoy a good documentary. There are literally thousands out there on any given subject. Some of the really enjoyable ones are those that take no particular biased opinion, but work from the standpoint of a person simply trying to discover truth. I used to be a fan of the History Channel until I actually began to research subject matter myself. Then, the ugly truth emerged and that was that the History Channel, A&E, Discovery, National Geographic, etc., etc., were all on the same page as far as developing a storyline and delivering the finished product. Number one, it has to be marketable. Can’t make money without someone wanting to watch it and without advertisers interested in sponsoring that show. Number two, it has to be controversial or provocative. For obvious reasons, you don’t want a real draw-out boring program (see Number one above). And Number three, it has to have a slight, extreme or radical Leftist slant. This is key in the packaging of these shows because of the types of people involved in the production, the actors who bring the stories to life, and the sponsors who follow trends based on social media and sales statistics.
For this reason, I completely avoid all the Liberal trappings of the documentaries which pretend to be about “exposing the truth” about history, particularly when it comes to anything that happens to be sacred to Christians or is deeply ensconced in identity politics or racial inequality. If you’ve ever gone on Netflix to watch a documentary about, say, the Book of Genesis, you’d be sadly mistaken to believe that this will be an in-depth study of the Book of Genesis. Rather (as becomes quickly apparent during your viewing of the show) the program is out to disprove the Book of Genesis in one way or another. They usually approach the subject matter from several different angles, all exposing the “lies or half-truths of the men who wrote the Book.” And this is a pattern with practically 100% of the so-called documentaries. The information is there to test your faith, to see if you’re actually paying attention to scripture and not to the flashy, state-of-the-art computer graphic renderings of the construction of Solomon’s Temple or the Exodus from Egypt.
Once again, science has come to the rescue and facts bear out more evidence that the Bible should be taken at its literal word rather than in mystical metaphors and allegory. Read on the following page about the amazing new DNA evidence direct from Egypt that will shut the mouths of condescending Liberals…at least temporarily. An extraordinary finding!
Bobby, nice try, stupid. Those who denigrate people of intellect higher than their own expose their inferior education, and/or lower I.Q. to alleviate their perpetual feelings of inadequacy.
Roy Winney BaaHaaHaa Roy, you believing that you’re a person of higher intellect, shows me that you’re the delusional one. I still feel sorry for you, being trapped in the mental state, that you choose to believe in and remain in.
Bobby, thank you for proving my point. Well done!
Roy Winney Not doing so well with your retorts, now that you’ve been exposed, are you Roy?
Oh, Bobby, you disappoint me, and your feeble rhetoric has devolved into boring absurdity, thus I progress to conversations engaging more cogent issues.
Roy, I also find it sad, that the wisdom and knowlege, that you so arrogantly claim you have, continues to elude your grasp.
Roy, your posts now are making me chuckle. I’ll leave this for you. Solomon, who God gave the gift of true wisdom, wrote the book of Ecclesiastes, as he summed up life. The last chapter in the book, Chapter 12, made me think, that it might be a worthwhile read for someone of your great intellect. You might want to give it a read. Don’t worry, it’s short, so it won’t bore you too much.
Bobby, FaceBooks purveyor of inane drivel. You, Sirrah, are too late. Perused the bible from Genesis to Revelations years ago, so once again your moronic ravings produce only ennui.
Roy, I have read the Word cover to cover also, but I can’t remember it all, so I keep rereading it. Really though, give that short chapter a read and give me your thoughts. I’m beginning to find you posts entertaining and amusing, at the same time. (I’m not being condescending), I am really interested on your view of that chapter. Sort of a Godly wisdom vs. human wisdom take. If you would, read it and give me your thoughts.
Upon poring over the scriptures with an open mind, and digesting the more significant chapters and erroneous verses, I promptly resigned from our local Presbyterian Church, and by no particular ceremony, decided, since my intellect rebuked much of the folderol, that henceforth I was now an Atheist. And if you refute errors in the scriptures, start with the translation re the “Pale horse”.Actually, the Greek “chloros”, because those working on the scrolls could not fathom a green horse, was altered to “pale”, causing church officials to ever after attempt to ascribe some plague or woe to it. Today we realize that green is the color of Islam, apropos the fourth horse.
