Hello A...,
Considering the way you see and speak, as one from this "advanced and civilized" world, I am fully persuaded that the "backward" people of the Bible times are indeed as civilized if not much more civilized.
But let's get to the issue.
I do not know if you believe in a Creator. Perhaps you worship (are totally beholden to) science. But do you know that some of the greatest scientists are Christians or firm believers of God? They include people like Newton, Edison and Einstein? Even the money in your pocket (if you are American) declares the trust in God - "In God we trust". I wonder if you do know that America is where it is today, it's very much because of Christian values and her God fearing leaders of yesterday.
DNA is not new to the Bible believers of the modern age any more than other unbelievers of God. Neither is DNA new to the Bible. That's why God deal with the sin of the fathers into the 4th generation. Noah, without knowledge of Naval Architecture by inspiration of God built a perfect sea worthy vessel - dimensions as recored in the Bible. John Dalton said that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Perhaps many would have denied the "creation" in Bible because of this. But Einstein destroyed the atom, thus proving that the earth can be destroyed and pass away one day. You probably need to wait for some day for one to prove that to you that matter can be "created" before you care to accept the first verse of the Inspired Word of the TIMELESS GOD - that He created he Heavens and the Earth. I pray that it will not be too late for you to have a true and real relationship with God like we have.
If you do believe in God, and you are disturbed, then you are probably disturbed by the Patriarchy and Polygamy messages. But let me tell you that so many functioning principles of modern day's successful multi-national corporations were already in Davidic Leadership and Patriarchy (as expounded and more will be, in this Website) culture that were in place in the so called "backward" people thousands of years ago. And modern men are just beginning to discover more of them. As relating to problems of our modern society, as a pastor and counselor, I have done enough of my fair share and contribution to the society in helping the fatherless, delivering and dealing with mentally deranged and healing of broken marriages as to know what I am talking about. Maybe you like to reveal who you are and tell me your experience and effort in such matter that I may learn from you, if you have higher wisdom. I challenge you to read my article - Is Monogamy Of God and give me your critique as your answer to problems of our modern society.
So much spoken, whatever you think of me or whatever bitterness or hurt that you might have suffered to cause you to write an email as this to someone who intends you no ill, I still want to respect you enough to say that you are not offspring of apes (if you think you are one), but a fellow man whose forefathers are intelligent moral being created by God. They were wise as we are even though they did not have the electronic technology that we have today. Care to tell me how you can build a pyramid without cranes and modern equipment? But the basic need of man never change - spiritual and natural. It's is absurd to consider that technology has an answer for them. You need to see the difference between intelligence, knowledge and wisdom. Modern man may seem more advance because of accumulated knowledge but has no divine wisdom without God and His ways. That's why he is in trouble. There are more divorces and abused children and women in America (which is considered to be the most advanced nation in the world) more than any other lands. Is this civilization and advancement? No. This is clearly degeneration. No sensible man can deny that this is societal decadence of modern Western ideology. There is nothing "advanced or civilized" in this!
If you refuse to see it this way, it's fine with me. You are responsible for your belief and I for mine. I hope the least that still remains in this "civilized" society is the liberty and appreciation for one another to do his best for his fellow men.
If you still firmly do no agree to any of what I have written, we need not discuss further, for there remain no common premise to communicate. As you said - Why waste time.
