Tag Archives: The Bible as History

I remember listening to my Sociology professor in college refer to the Bible as a series of fairy tales and folklore during the weekly lectures I was expected to attend.  However, as I read our main textbook for class I began to see how this Sociology book used the historical timelines the Bible provided.  Either my professor was right and the Bible gives scholars a projected estimate of history?  Or my professor was wrong, trying to cover up the historical accuracy of the Word of God recorded by Old Testament authors?

Searching to uncover the truth, I spent several years on my own reading and researching books.  The remainder of this blog includes a distorted history of the earth, not taught in our schools.  The creation recount in Genesis 1 supports the historical findings of Pangaea, a one continent earth.  Genesis 2:5-6 supports the Environmental Protection Agency’s findings of world wide water aquifers underneath the earth’s surface.  Genesis 7:11 reveals the origins of how and why Pangaea has been torn apart into 7 new continents thanks to tectonic plates, lowering half of the earth into the seas and raising the other portion to create mountain ranges like the Himalayas.

In fact, when the springs of the earth burst forth in Genesis 7:11, this volcanic eruption allowed the springs underneath the surface to rise into the air like a series of Old Faithful geysers.  This explosion made room for the flood waters which followed in Genesis 7:12 to eventually recede into these vacated areas allowing the earth’s soil to perk.  This was necessary or else most of the earth’s land would be filled with swamps.  If almost every civilizations writes about a massive flood; its likely the Bible is telling the truth.

Unfortunately, many other biblical findings have been left out of the media, probably on purpose.  Egyptian chariot’s have been discovered on the bottom of the Red Sea by a Christian archeologist.  A large image of an ark like figure has been seen on top of a mountain range in Turkey.  Skeleton remains from a woman 8,000 years ago, appear to suggest the curse of Eve in Genesis 3:16 is a continual shrinking with each generation of woman’s hips.  In addition, most snakes when picked up reveal holes, where feet once existed.  I could go on, but the pieces of historical evidence supporting the Bible is endless.  Book likes The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel and The Bible as History are great resources that I suggest.  Don’t believe me, test everything and you will find the truth, 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22.
