We all know that carbon monoxide kills only first-born, don't we? (Sarcasm)
But I would like to hear an explanation why a God who is not partial, a God who is the source of life, personally kills (according to Exodus) and wants to be remembered for that? Sin came into this world through one man, and through his sin death. God is not the source of death or else He must be the source of sin as well.
Lol .... especially when there aren't any siblings :-)
Actually-- he says it was carbon dioxide, which is not poisonous. It is heavier than other components of air and can, in the rare event of its being released in concentrated form, displace the oxygen in the air thus causing suffocation. It happened at Lake Nyo in the Cameroons recently and, to my own knowledge, happened in the United States near a lake I once camped at-- Horseshoe lake near Mammoth Lakes in the Sierra Nevada mountains-- I don't think anyone was killed in Mammoth Lakes but a geologist lost consciousness because the carbon dioxide, which was being emitted from the mountain was concentrated and cut down the oxygen content of the air-- as to why it was the first born only who were killed, the film's thesis is that in Egyptian culture first born males were given favored treatment and one aspect of that was being allowed to sleep on beds on the first floor while others slept on roofs. Because the carbon dioxide is heavy it only kills those animals and persons closer to the ground. Those sleeping higher up are spared. Far from being a challenge to faith, this program is meant to prove that bibilically described events really did happen. How often has something perfectly explainable in natural terms occurred at a time that was so propitious that you have exclaimed, It's like a miracle-- it has happened to me, more than once. Do you not see the hand of God in such events? I do. On the deepest level. That level that says , without thinking, Thank God.
