Part 5: Parts of the Bible (if you missed it) and some Atrocities


This was for all the heathens like me who were at the creation museum and could not recite God’s Word exactly. Of course, the entirety of the Bible was not here, only bits and pieces, and they were scattered throughout the museum. BUT this is the first chunk that you see.

The Old Testament

Isaiah

Moses

King David


The New Testament


John and Peter


The original tales from the crypt.

Paul

Verses Quoth



Attacks on the Bible
Every single one of them.

First Attacks

Attempts to Question

These are all biblical references that I am not learned in. However, I would love to see a detailed list of those 500 prophecies that have come true.

Attempts to Destroy

Again several Bible stories about the attempts on the Jewish and then Christian faith.

Attempts to Discredit

Here we blame philosophers, astronomers, biologists, geologists, paleontologists, and linguists for trying to discredit the Bible. The last statement in each section shows how they had been wrong all along and the Bible was right. Astronomers do believe that there was a beginning to the Universe, and they are still unsure of what exactly that entailed. Genetics do verify that there is only one type of person. The problem with this argument is that most biologists throughout the years have believed this, and there have only been eugenicists who believed that the races were actually separate species and evolved in a hierarchical fashion with the Aryans as the epitome of human form. The biological species definition is a group of organisms that can interbreed. However, in this museum the word “kind” does not usually mean species. It is usually used here as some sort of progenitor to the rest of the species in a group. The kind is here usually at the family or class level, depending on the organisms, and as long as you are not talking about us. Geology now confirms that some strata are laid down by catastrophes, such as the layer laid down when the meteor hit 65 million years ago and killed all the dinosaurs. However, otherwise it is a slow process. Paleontologists will not claim fast burial except in particular cases, when it happened in a rock slide or a mudslide. Otherwise, it is a slow covering. Of course, the quicker it happens, the better the preservation will be. In this way, the ones that we find whole beautiful skeletons of were usually quickly buried. Languages are very complex, and it is true that there are families of languages that have their origins in more recent times. This is mostly because the languages we mostly think of (Spanish, English, French, and German) were spread during the Roman empire. But if you look at the Asian languages, Arabic, and some aboriginal languages, not all languages are based in the recent.

Attempts to Criticize

It is true that archeologists have gone against the Bible and then found proof of some of the people and places. However, just because some of the people and places existed does not mean that the Bible is literal. One of my friends commented, “They found Troy, but that doesn’t mean that the Iliad was real.”

Attempts to Poison

This doesn’t happen to mention the fact that the idea of the Bible being literal did not come about until 1525 by Ulrich Zwingli. Also, I am amused that The da Vinci Code has such a place on honor among the poisoning influences. This is particularly amusing not because this is a fictional story and actually attacks the Catholic Church more than the Bible, but because Angels and Demons (Dan Brown’s better, earlier novel) was much more harmful to the Bible doctrine.

Attempts to Replace

I like this because it shows that the Bible that was written by prophets before cannot ever be changed or even argued with. Even when there are people today who claim to hear God’s new Words, they are passed off as crazy. How it is the Isaiah and Moses were not just some nut jobs? Clearly, because that was when God decided he wanted the Bible written, and only the two parts, forget the Dead Sea Scrolls and other documents that were from that era. The Bible is total and perfect and completely unchanging.

The Last Attack

Humanity abandoning the Bible, and the consequences therein, are the subject of the next chapter.
