The ark was basically what you’d call a Leyden bottle, or a primitive capacitor which was picking up electrostatic charge from the atmosphere. Israelites were using it as a communications device to reach the spirit world. The closest thing to it in our present world is EVP ( www.aaevp.com).
Please tell me you’re joking. That’s a joke, right? Right?
It’s always better to go to the source material, rather than follow the imaginations of “scholars” thousands of years after the fact, such as the Ark being a capacitor.
If someone doesn’t want to believe the Old Testament account of what occured, that’s their right, but to ignore the ancient text in order to satisfy the beliefs of modern man is sheer folly.
It was the miraculous power of God that is not bound by or to nature - take it or leave it. Using natural law to explain what the Bible highlights as a miracle falls way short of the plain meaning of the text.
You ARE kidding, right?
