From Adam to Noah-The Numbers Game
No one understands the genealogy in Genesis 5. In that genealogy many individuals are reported to have lived over 900 years. If you think you understand it, I can prove that you're wrong.
In <i>From Adam to Noah--The Numbers Game: Why the Genealogy Puzzles of Genesis 5 and 11 Are in the Bible</i>, I show that the genealogy is a puzzle. When the puzzle is solved, a fully functional, highly accurate calendar is revealed.
This statement is so incredible that most people simply ignore the idea and move on.
It couldn't be true, could it? If the Bible contains a calendar hidden in a genealogy at the very beginning of the book, what are the implications? They are vast and mostly unpleasant. Unpleasant for Bible supporters and for its detractors as well.
Unpleasant for the detractors because the calendar was one of the most important scientific documents of the ancient world. If the Bible contains a highly accurate calendar, then ancient scientists certainly had a hand in its creation. That fact makes it harder to argue that the Bible is full of myths and superstitions. The implications are unpleasant for Bible supporters because the miraculous lifetimes are suddenly not miracles at all. Without the miracles, it's much harder to ask those who read the Bible to rely on religious faith. The Bible can be understood.
You will come to understand that the calendar puzzle in Genesis 5 is not an aberration. It tells us that the people who wrote the Bible loved both riddles and puzzles. If they had something important to say, they would use a riddle or a puzzle to say it. Genesis 1 to 11 contains information important to these writers, and they have filled these chapters with a collection of riddles and puzzles woven into a single fabric.
If you don't really want to know what the Bible was to those who wrote it, this book may not be something you want to read. If you use the Bible to support what you already believe, this book will not help you do that. If you're looking for a book that affirms your religious faith, then this is not your book. If you're looking for a book that proves the Bible is superstition and myth, you may want to look elsewhere.
<i>From Adam to Noah--The Numbers Game</i> shows that the Bible was written by some incredibly intelligent people. They were the scientists, philosophers, theologians, artists, designers, and engineers of their time. They were just like us. We haven't understood their culture so we failed to understand what the Bible was and what it contained. Our lack of understanding is a vast and nearly bottomless chasm. Those who fight for it and those who fight against it are both fighting about something neither understands. In the science versus religion debate, From Adam to Noah makes peace.
