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?
"Isn't it amazing how it appears that all cultures developed codes of law without the assistance of the Bible?"
Why yes, things like this had previously amazed me as too until I understood mankinds' need for revisiing history.
Here's another poser - how did language originate? Did it start with 1 language or many? Possibly you've heard that Hebrew is/was the most highly-evolved of all known languages? Science used to laugh at the Biblical idea that man is composed of dust until recently.
Also which is more amazing - the dates on your research items or the dates ascribed to evolution? Just as we do today, mankind has always done, leave behind some trace of their existence. So please show me anything mankind recorded that is over 10,000 years old. I won't consider anything using dating theories that contain assumptions (i.e. cave painting on a '65 million year old rock').
The Roman Empire survived many centuries with an 8-day week and a horrible calender system. So to the Incas.
The Mayans did well with two weeks of 13 or 20 days, seeming used simultaneously.
