Your post:

Maybe your time would be better spent reviewing the holes in the evolution theory or even better disproving the Bible. Two very simple questions from John MacArthur. 1.) How did the rule of law evolve w/o the Bible? 2.) How did the 7-day week evolve w/o the Bible?

My question:

Could you please clarify if you are saying that the rule of law would not exist without the Bible?

Your response:

yes

Ok then. You're wrong of course, but let me point out some resources for you that will adequately show you why. I'll let you google them yourself:

Ancient Codes of Law:

The Inscriptions of Umma and Lagash - Ancient Sumeria, approx. 2500 BCE

The Code of Hammurabi - Ancient Babylonia, approx. 1780 BCE (Babylon has earlier extant laws, but they aren't presented as a compiled code)

The Instruction of Ptah Hotep - Ancient Egypt, approx. 2300 BCE

The Athenian Constitution - Ancient Greece, approx. 350 BCE

The Law Code of Gortyn - Ancient Crete, approx. 450 BCe

The Laws of Manu - Ancient India, approx. 1500 BCE

Legalist Views on Good Government, Han Fei Tzu - Ancient China, approx. 233 BCE

Isn't it amazing how it appears that all cultures developed codes of law without the assistance of the Bible?
