You do realize there are older religions the scriptures used longer than Christianity has existed.

The Douay-Rheims is older.

The English Wyclif Bible Bible dates from 1380 and is still in use.

Age versus accuracy. The KJV looses to newer translations. Same for ease of reading.

No debate.

Also pointing humans did not construct many of the things from ancient times.

Think we are in agreement. Very basic things were done by the ancients, and through history man improved the basics.

More than *very basic*. Advanced mathematics and physics already existence a very long time before Europeans even dreamed of them.

"There is evidence, however, that the design of the pyramid [the great pyramid of Giza, in Egypt] may embody these foundations of mathematics and geometry:

  • Phi, the Golden Ratio that appears throughout nature.
  • Pi, the circumference of a circle in relation to its diameter.
  • The Pythagorean Theorem – Credited by tradition to mathematician Pythagoras (about 570 – 495 BC), which can be expressed as a² + b² = c².
One thing that is clear is that the dimensions and geometries were did not happen by chance. Would a civilization with the technological skill and knowledge to align the pyramid to within 1/15th of a degree to true north leave the dimensions of the pyramid to chance? If they did not intend the geometry that resulted in a rather precise angle like 51.83 degrees, why would they have not used another simpler angle found in divisions of a circle such as 30, 45, 54 or 60 degrees?... Its near perfect alignment to due north shows that little was left to chance...

I was not speaking of the Egyptians. But rather speaking to Noah's building of the Ark, and simply saying, he would not have been given such a task, without knowledge of how to, or knowledge of having tools.

God Bless,

There was no Pre-Adamite earth, so that's just another fantasy.
Who was Cain worried about killing him? Anyone on the Earth would already be his immediate family, his brothers and sisters that he grew up with, and certainly wouldn't need God to put a "mark" on him in order for them to recognize him. Unless...….. Cain was worried about another group of people, altogether, who had no idea he was Adam's first son.

Simply anyone living on the face of the earth at that time. There was a period of 130 years until Seth was born (and he is regarded as the true heir of Adam). But during those 130 years other children (probably girls) could have been born (but not mentioned, since generally the women are not included in the chronologies).

The Bible is very clear that all human beings descended from Adam, then from Noah and his three sons. So there is no question about any other group being on earth apart from the relatives of Cain.

The children of Adam and Eve had a lot of offspring who had more and did not live in one place.

What is this supposed to mean? Explain.

That the claims of the age oh the KJV in use make it superior.

Your statement here makes as much sense as the one in # (154). Go back and tell me what your first sentence in (154) is supposed to mean.
