How much do you really know about the bible?

This is the part where we find out that he got a C in some 100 level college course on the subject which he occasionally attended, and now feels enlightened on the subject.

Actually, I only took one mythology course during my days at the university. It was in Greek mythology and not much applies to the current discussion. I, of course, got an A (and I think it was a 200 level course [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ). (my major was Com Sci, and yes, I have a degree in it not that it matters)

Actually, this all stems from reading I did prior to attending school. I didn't start school until I was 23 due to 5 years in the military. It was then I discovered my interest in this topic.

Anyway, I had to laugh at this as well:

The accounts in Genesis are more sophisticated than those in Enuma Elish.

That was priceless. Wrong, and priceless.

If anyone is interested, here is a link to some current listings on Amazon about the Elish: Elish link

Also, I don't deny this:

Genesis is also scientifically accurate

[/ QUOTE ]

It is accurrate. It details in a few verses how life EVOLVES on a planet. It descibes the formation of the planet and the formation of lower forms of life before higher forms (grass before animals, etc.). All this proves is that our ancestors knew how things had started, not that God had done things in 7 days.

Suffice to say, anyone who is well read on this topic knows that the Elish was the basis for the Hebrew version of events. And why not. Anyone know where the Jews were before they migrated to Egypt? You guessed it, Mesopotamia. (please don't ask for a source on this, just learn some basic human history)

Now, as for my other claims, I'll have to dig some books out of the back room. In all honesty, it has been a while since I have researched these topics. So, give me a day or two to find the sources.

As for the Druid claim, I'm not going to explain an entire religion. Just buy a book or two on the Druids, and trinity will be covered in it.

As for Jesus' travels after the age of 12, pick up a book on a character named Isla. It is generaly accepted that this character was Jesus.

While your buying books, pick up a copy of the Epic of Gilgamesh. I recommend 'Gilgamesh' by John Gardner and John Maier, it is an excellent translation. It contains the Mesopotamian flood account. It is considered the basis for the story of Noah's Ark.

That's enough for now. I have to go scan the Book of Acts to find the reference to Tamuzi since it has been a while since I have read it.

This is the guy who argued about how the ark was built, according to our modern understanding of engineering and zoology.
