Why are other civilizations ignored in the Bible?

[catman]

If we start at the beginning and survey the book of Genesis, we see several things. One, God creates a man and a woman who eventually have children. These children in turn grow up and have children and from these the world is populated. This happens in the region which we now commonly refer to generally as the middle east.

Scientific study and archeological evidence all points to Africa and not the Middle East.

What we do know is that Adam and Eve were not in China or North America or Australia or Antarctica or Russia etc.

Actually we do not know that Adam and Eve existed at all. Bible is the only source.

From this locale we then read of the spread of people outwards. This takes place primarily after the Tower of Babel account. Noah's sons are then recorded to have had children which in turn had children who would eventually migrate to become the fathers of the Chinese and Russians and Europeans and etc etc.

Amazingly China was populated within a few thousand years.

So we can see in a sense...God zooming out and out and out as He gives us the account of a growing world population.

No he does not. He mentioned nothing about these about the growing populations in these other nations.

These "fathers" of the nations knew God.

How do you know that?

The further people moved from where it all began the more distorted and twisted their concept of God became.

Even though their religions/mythologies may be older than Judaism?

This is in keeping right along with what we would expect if this indeed was God's word. And God gives us the record of how this unfolds with a history of the evolution of the Israelites. The Israelites lived in what we refer to broadly as the middle east. They did not live in China, or India, or Antarctica, or North America. They lived in a specific geographic location. It would not make much sense if God while giving us an account of the Israelites, threw in for flavor, the goings on of the Han Dynasty! That would be quite out of place and immaterial unless it had some type of bearing on Israel.

You do know that Yahweh was on of many Gods that was originally worshiped by the Jews. He was a JEWISH DEITY. The Jews at the time did not consider him a God for the world. He was a for the Jews only and didn't care about the outside world. That is the real reason why the ancient Chinese or Aztecs never heard of Yahweh. They had their own mythologies.
