CERN physicists today can read in Genesis an account consistent with modern physics, thousands of years after it was written
If you compare the Hebrew scriptures to their own historical weight class, so to speak, then they are remarkable
Maybe kind of a stretch, but CERN physicists can see modern cosmology and evolution in Genesis 1
“Creator Revealed” is the book I think
What other ancient creation fable can still after all these years walk into earth’s largest physics lab?
The Germanic account of an earthly terrestrial tree from this planet supporting the heavens??
Being fair and balanced and comparing the Hebrew creation account to others it seems obvious that it stands out as the only one even within arms reach of modern science
It stands out as an extreme anomaly, heads and shoulders “above” the tallest California sequoia there ever was on this planet
Vegetarian gathering --> skin clothing (implying slaughter of animals) echoes the transition of australopithecines --> homo erectustwo million years ago
That transition also witnessed the emergence of stone tools (used to butcher animals and scrape off skins for clothing), burial rituals (evidenced by homo naledi in the Rising Star Cave), and fire (used to access deep cave chambers, cook food, and frighten off animals)
The Cherubim waving fire all around resembles the way flaming torches were used to drive off lions and other predators from carcasses, as well as to defend campsites from the same
According to this picture, the dramatic emergence of fire, stone tools, and ritual two million years ago was a “2001 Monolith moment” if you would
Jesus was not here to correct the mistaken views of people about science or history.
The fact that he was willing to tell people things like “the mustard seed is the smallest seed,” because that is what they thought, is an indication that He was more interested in giving them spiritual rather than secular knowledge.
