Camels in Genesis

source
New fancy pants carbon dating research has proved that Camels were not domesticated until hundreds of years after accounts documented in Genesis, yet, Camels appear all over in Genesis, walking along side main characters. A Biblical scholar, and Times writer, who just has to complicate things, (they can't seem to help themselves) quotes..

"These anachronisms are telling evidence that the Bible was written or edited long after the events it narrates and is not always reliable as verifiable history. These camel stories "do not encapsulate memories from the second millennium," said Noam Mizrahi, an Israeli biblical scholar, "but should be viewed as back-projections from a much later period."

Well, aint that a la tee da way of saying what anyone with a brain can figure out for themselves. Eye roll.


"Biblical authors," Joe Baden (CNN opinion writer) writes, "simply transplanted the nomadic standards of their time into the distant past. There is nothing deceptive about this. They weren’t trying to trick anyone."

Umm, yeah, they were. This is exactly why kids in Texas think Dinosaurs roamed with Humans and the world is 5,000 years old. You can sugar coat it all you want, but, the truth is, the bible is NOT a historical book. It's a hysterical book. Based on stories told from generation to generation and on and on, and not from anyone who even lived close to the times they claimed in the stories. The point of all of the stories seems to be to scare people, control them and make them be good...and give all they've got. Call me cynical, but, I don't need a biblical scholar or carbon dating to tell me that. I can read and I have a brain. Okay then, I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee and I've pissed all the christians on here off. Sorry. (Way to start the day, heathen.)
