Quote:Then you would have to ask to whom was God speaking to? Was he to ignore 4000 years of human history, for the sake of the few hundred years of people?Why would he have to ignore any history at all?
Quote:What makes more sense? A detailed description that impacts the last generations of warnings and laws that everyone could benefit from?
Actually having the cleric of the ancients jews for example write about how microbes cause disease , would do far more to help his case and make people believe in him thousands of years later then having the cleric write a code of laws that seems oddly similiar to other ancient codes.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
