Thanks for posting.

On a related note: centuries before the ancient Greeks said that everything is made of 4 elements, Genesis said that God made Adam from the dust of the ground. Sounds to me like the Greeks were the copycats. LOL

To: Tell It Right

Greeks were pretty ahead of their time.

They got some things right that NO ONE ANYWHERE had said or thought yet.

It doesn’t disprove the Bible, just like the Bible doesn’t disprove Greeks being ahead of their time.

You are so right. Those words, even if borrowed, describe the evolution of our being, universe, planet, and life. And those words were recorded by the Jews and inspired by our God almost three thousand years ago. They wrote those words in a book that became the Bible and that has survived to this very day!

And yes, they may be stories and even in a few cases a myth. But we live in a world of stories and myths. Did Georgie Washington actually chop down that cherry tree? I really don't know, but it does not make him a lesser figure to be admired -- along with most of the founders of our nation.

God's word is the truth. It's a science that's catching up - not the other way around.
