What next? - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #33 GOD: new evidence 2022-05-03 | Many people think that the things in the Bible are just stories. But the Bible records things that really happened. As we have gone through this series, we have seen that there are many ways we can test what the Bible says.We have seen that the Bible is about real places, real people, and real events. But in this series, we have only scratched the surface of the evidence. There is much more that we could look at, all supporting the conclusion that the Bible is true - it is not 'just stories.'But if the Bible really is true, surely we should take its message seriously? So as we come to the end of this series, we would like to invite you to investigate the message of the Bible for yourself, and to look into what it means for your life.
Reliable Documents - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #32 GOD: new evidence 2022-04-27 | Is the Bible that we have today what the authors wrote? Or has it been changed and corrupted through time? In the past few videos in this series, we’ve looked at some of the evidence that we do have today what the authors originally wrote.The evidence of the Dead Sea Scrolls shows that the Old Testament documents have been copied accurately at least since the time of Jesus. And the evidence of the miniature scrolls from Ketef Hinnom shows that at least some parts of the Old Testament were copied accurately for six hundred years before that.Whenever an older copy is discovered, it always confirms that the Bible has been copied accurately for hundreds or even thousands of years. What we have today is what the authors wrote. It hasn't been changed or corrupted through time. We can trust it.
Scrolls from Ketef Hinnom - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #31 GOD: new evidence 2022-04-19 | In 1979 Gabriel Barkay was excavating at Ketef Hinnom, just outside the Old City of Jerusalem. He discovered two tiny silver scrolls - the size of cigarette butts. They are the earliest copies that have ever been found of texts of parts of the Old Testament.One text comes from the priestly blessing in Numbers ch. 6 - ‘The Lord bless you and keep you...’ Another comes from Deuetronomy ch. 7. These are Old Testament texts dating back to the 7th century BC - five hundred years older than any of the Dead Sea Scrolls. They help to confirm how old the text of the Old Testament is.With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
The Isaiah Scroll - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #30 GOD: new evidence 2022-04-12 | The early Christians made great use of Old Testament prophecies. In particular, they understood Isaiah 53 to be a prophecy about the death of Jesus.This is why it is important to know how old the book of Isaiah is, and how reliable is the text we have? Is it the result of tampering by early Christians? We could have said that before 1947: The oldest Hebrew copy of Isaiah before the Dead Sea Scrolls were found dated to around 900 AD.But there were two copies of Isaiah among the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the older one dates from a century before Jesus was born. This shows that the text of Isaiah has not been changed. Today, we can see this scroll in the Shrine of the Book, in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.With James Greig, Zenas Heritage Tours - zenasheritagetours.com
The Dead Sea Scrolls - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #29 GOD: new evidence 2022-04-05 | In 1947, Bedouin shepherd boys accidentally discovered the first of the Dead Sea Scroll caves. These are caves where a Jewish community living at Qumran hid their precious scrolls from the Romans. In 70AD the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem, and carried out a great persecution of the Jewish people. These scrolls were hidden in such a perfect environment that they would be kept for nearly two thousand years.These manuscripts include almost every book of the Old Testament. This means we can read the Old Testament as it was at the time of Jesus. We can demonstrate that there has been faithful copying for two thousand years. With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
The Earliest Fragment - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #28 GOD: new evidence 2022-03-29 | There are about five thousand fragments of New Testament manuscripts in the original Greek language. The earliest of these is the John Rylands fragment - officially called P52. This is kept in the John Rylands library of the University of Manchester, in England.It is a fragment of John’s gospel, and dates to around 125-150 AD. Most scholars believe that John’s gospel was the last to be written, so there is a very short gap between when this gospel was first written (probably in Ephesus), and when this copy was made.With James Greig, Zenas Heritage Tours - zenasheritagetours.com
The Jesus Papyrus - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #27 GOD: new evidence 2022-03-22 | The ‘Jesus papyrus’ (also known as the Magdalen papyrus, and formally called P64) is a fragment of Matthew’s Gospel. It was found in Egypt in 1901, and is now housed in Magdalen College Oxford. The fragment (actually three small pieces of papyrus) contains parts of Matthew 26, and most scholars date it to around 170 AD.Why is it important? It is the oldest copy we have of any part of Matthew’s Gospel. This Gospel was not written in Egypt, so here we have evidence for it being widely recognised and accepted, from the fact that the oldest copy turns up in Egypt.The P64 fragments contain the earliest mention of some important names - Peter, Judas, the twelve, and Jesus himself.With James Greig, Zenas Heritage Tours - zenasheritagetours.com
Four Gospels - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #26 GOD: new evidence 2022-03-15 | The Chester Beatty Library in Dublin is named after an American mining engineer and collector, Alfred Chester Beatty. One manuscript in his collection, called P45, contains the four Gospels and the book of Acts, and dates to around 250 AD.The Gospels are the foundation documents of Christianity. They record the life and death of Jesus, and Jesus’s teachings. P45 is important because it shows us which documents the early church trusted. The Gospels that are in our Bible today (and no others) were universally recognised. As early as the late second century, the church leader Irenaeus said that there are just four Gospels.With James Greig, Zenas Heritage Tours - zenasheritagetours.com
Found in the Rubbish - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #25 GOD: new evidence 2022-03-08 | The Oxyrhynchus papyri are a collection of ancient documents, including parts of the Bible dating from around 250 AD. These documents were not commissioned by an emperor or bishop - they come from ordinary church communities making their own copies of the Scriptures. Two scholars from Oxford, B P Grenfell and A S Hunt, discovered them on a rubbish tip in Egypt, and the fragment of the book of Hebrews is now in the British Library, in London.With James Greig, Zenas Heritage Tours - zenasheritagetours.com
The Oldest Bible - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #24 GOD: new evidence 2022-03-01 | The oldest Bible in the world today is Codex Sinaiticus - this literally means ‘the book from the Sinai peninsula.’ It was made around 325-350 AD (which means that it is a century older than Codex Alexandrinus), and it originally contained all 66 books of our current Bible. It was discovered by Constantin von Tischendorf, in St. Catherine’s monastery, at the foot of Mt. Sinai. It made its way into the hands of the Tsar of Russia. After the Russian revolution in 1917, the Russians sold it to the British Museum on Christmas day 1933, for £100,000. Today it is on display in the British Library. With James Greig, Zenas Heritage Tours - zenasheritagetours.com
Codex Alexandrinus -Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #23 GOD: new evidence 2022-02-22 | ‘Codex Alexandrinus’ literally means ‘the book from Alexandria.’ It is one of the earliest copies we have of the whole Bible in Greek, having been made around the 450s AD. Cyril Lucaris (the patriarch of Constantinople) gave it to the king of England, in the seventeenth century, and it is now on display in the British Library, in LondonWith James Greig, Zenas Heritage Tours - zenasheritagetours.com
Documentary - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #22 GOD: new evidence 2022-02-15 | Many people think that the words in the Bible that we have today have been changed and corrupted over time, so that they are not what the original writers wrote.Before printing was invented, all ancient documents had to be copied by hand. So the more handwritten copies there are, the better - and there are many more copies of some parts of the Bible than of any other ancient writing: there are nearly six thousand hand-written copies of parts of the New Testament in Greek. There are another fifteen thousand copies where it has been translated into other ancient languages. Altogether, there are more than two and a half million pages of hand written copies of the Greek New Testament. Then there are sixty one copies of the complete New Testament in Greek. For most other ancient documents, there are only a handful of copies.So in terms of the number of copies, the Gospels are far and away the best documented texts from the ancient world.It is also important that there are early hand written copies, and there are copies of the Bible that go back much closer in time to when they were written, compared to other ancient documents. There are copies of the whole Bible that go back to the fourth century. There are parts of individual books of the Bible that go back even closer to when they were written. More hand written copies, and older copies, are being discovered all the time. Each new discovery confirms that these documents have been copied accurately for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Real People - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #21 GOD: new evidence 2022-02-08 | There are many different people in the Bible. We may think these are just characters made up by the Bible writers. But in 2014, the Biblical Archaeology Review published an article that listed fifty people in the Bible whose existence has been confirmed by archaeology. This includes enemy kings, like pharaohs Shoshenq, or Taharqa of Egypt. It also includes kings of Israel and of Judah like Ahab, Jeroboam, and David.Three years later, the Biblical Archaeology Review published another article, confirming the reality of three more people in the Bible. The Bible is not a collection of myths and legends. It is about real people, real history, and real events.With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
The Cyrus Cylinder - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #20 GOD: new evidence 2022-02-01 | The Persian emperor Cyrus defeated the empire of Babylon, and captured the capital city. The book of Ezra in the Bible records a decree by Cyrus allowing the Jewish exiles in Babylon to return home and rebuild their temple (Ezra 1:1-3). This seems a very unlikely decree for an ancient emperor to make. No king had ever done anything like it, and scholars were skeptical of its truth.Then in 1879, archaeologist Hormuzd Rssam discovered the Cyrus cylinder. This records a decree that Cyrus issued allowing the displaced peoples of his empire to return to their homelands - exactly as the Bible said. They were to rebuild their temples and places of worship - so that the gods of the nations would bless him. With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
The Last King of Babylon - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #19 GOD: new evidence 2022-01-25 | The Bible describes (in Daniel ch. 5) the moment when the Babylonian kingdom falls to Cyrus, king of Persia. The Babylonian king Belshazzar has a drunken party. A supernatural hand appears and writes on the wall - words of judgment on Belshazzar. Daniel is called in to interpret the writing on the wall. Belshazzar promises that if he can interpret the writing, he will make Daniel the third ruler in the kingdom.One problem with this account is that no-one had heard of Belshazzar outside of the Bible. The last king of Babylon was Nabonidus, not Belshazzar. This problem was solved by th discovery of the Nabonidus cylinder. Nabonidus spent long periods of time away from Babylon, avoiding conflict. He left his son Belshazzar in charge in Babylon. So the book of Daniel did get it right - and this explains why Belshazzar could only offer to make Daniel the third ruler in the kingdom,With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
Nebuchadnezzar’s Lions - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #18 GOD: new evidence 2022-01-18 | A new addition in the British Museum is a glazed relief of a winged lion. This comes from the palace of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Babylonian empire, around 600 BC. Nebuchadnezzar is the king in the Bible’s story of Daniel. In the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar erects a giant statue, and commands everyone to worship it. Three of Daniel’s friends refuse to worship, and they are thrown into a fiery furnace. This was an obvious punishment for the day: Nebuchadnezzar was a great builder, who made millions of these hard glazed, brightly coloured bricks. All around the city there were fiery furnaces used to make these bricks.With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
Robin Hood - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #17 GOD: new evidence 2022-01-11 | There are many stories about the legendary English outlaw Robin Hood. According to these legends, he lived in Sherwood Forest and fought against the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham. Many people think that the Bible is just a collection of ancient stories – like the legends of Robin Hood – that it is not really true at all.But then it is as if we looked at the legends of Robin Hood, and we discovered that the places in them are all real places, and the people are all real people. This is exactly how it works with the Bible: it is not just a collection of ancient stories. It is about real people, in real places, and things that really happened. You can look at the evidence we present in this series, and maybe you disagree with one item or another. But this is missing the big picture – the way that all the evidence taken together shows that the Bible is true when it speaks about history - it is much more than 'just stories.'
A Bird in a Cage - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #16 GOD: new evidence 2022-01-04 | 'Controlling the narrative' is nothing new. The Taylor prism is an ancient clay prism, found by Colonel Robert Taylor in 1830. It is the official record of the Assyrian king Sennacherib’s military campaign in Israel (701 BC). It was part of Sennacherib’s ‘controlling the narrative’ about his Israel campaign. Sennacherib’s problem was that he never conquered Jerusalem. This is a historical fact, which was foretold by the prophet Isaiah, as recorded in the Bible (see 2 Kings chapters 18 and 19).Sennacherib has to explain away his failure to take Jerusalem. On the Taylor prism, he says ‘As for Jerusalem, I shut up (king) Hezekiah like a bird in a cage.’ Other Assyrian kings had used this expression. Sennacherib portrayed his Israel campaign as a complete victory, but this is not the truth of what happened.With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
... but not Jerusalem. Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #15 GOD: new evidence 2021-12-13 | The siege of Lachish was recorded on a frieze by the Assyrian king Sennacherib, which is now on display in the British Museum. Why did he choose to record the siege of Lachish, which was a relatively unimportant city? Sennacherib’s campaign is recorded in the Bible, in 2 Kings 18-19. As his army moved on from conquering Lachish and headed for Jerusalem, his forces were supernaturally destroyed by God. So Sennacherib has nothing to say about Jerusalem. He is not about to admit that something went wrong with his campaign. So he immortalises his victory at Lachish, rather than his failure to take Jerusalem.With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
The Siege of Lachish... - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #14 GOD: new evidence 2021-12-07 | One room in the British Museum is devoted to a wall frieze of the siege of the city of Lachish, in Israel. The Assyrian king Sennacherib laid siege to Lachish in 701 BC. The siege is recorded in graphic and brutal detail: the Assyrians built siege ramps, and used mobile wooden towers to attack the walls of the city. The frieze shows the cruel and vicious way the Assyrians treated captured nobles from the city. This siege is recorded in the Bible, in 2 Chronicles 32. Once again, the record of archaeology supports what the Bible says.With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
Hezekiah’s Tribute - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #13 GOD: new evidence 2021-11-30 | When Hezekiah, king of Judah, was under threat from the Assyrian king Sennacherib (around 701 BC), he stripped the gold from the temple in Jerusalem and sent it to Sennacherib to try to buy him off. (He did this in spite of the fact that the prophet Isaiah had already told Hezekiah that Sennacherib would not be able to touch Jerusalem - see 2 Kings chapters 18 and 19). A panel from Khorsabad, on display in the British Museum, lists Hezekiah’s tribute to Sennacherib.With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
Shebna’s Tomb - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #12 GOD: new evidence 2021-11-23 | In the British Museum there is the lintel, or top piece, of a door from an ancient tomb with some Hebrew writing, from the time of king Hezekiah (around 700 BC). This was the tomb of an important official in Hezekiah’s government. Some of the letters are missing, but the official’s name ended with ‘-yahu.’ The British Museum says it is most likely that this is the tomb of an official called Shebnyahu. Shebna (the shortened form of Shebnyahu) appears in the book of Isaiah in the Bible. When the Assyrian king Sennacherib attacked Israel, Hezekiah sent Shebna to negotiate with him.In Isaiah 22:15-19 there is a specific mention of Shebna’s tomb. Isaiah the prophet is sent to ask Shebna why he is building an elaborate rock tomb, which his body will never lie in. God specifically condemns Shebna for building this tomb.With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
Hezekiah and Isaiah - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #11 GOD: new evidence 2021-11-16 | A seal was the ancient equivalent of a signature. It was a small carving that carried the owner’s name, and could be stamped into clay as a mark of ownership. The clay impression of a seal is called a bulla (plural bullae). King Hezekiah in the Bible (700 BC) was a real historical person, who we also know about from the archaeological record. Among other evidence, a bulla carrying his name has been discovered near Jerusalem.This bulla was found in a collection of several hundred others from the same time. Very close to the bulla of Hezekiah there was another that carries the name Isaiah. This bulla is broken, so we can not be sure, but there are some Hebrew letters that come from the word ‘prophet.’ In 2018 the Israeli archaeologist Eilat Mazar announced that we now have a direct reference to the Biblical prophet Isaiah from the time of king Hezekiah.With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
King Sargon of Assyria - Just Stories: evidence and the Bible #10 GOD: new evidence 2021-11-09 | The book of Isaiah in the Bible talks about an Assyrian king called Sargon who lived around 720 BC, and who attacked Israel (Isaiah 20:1).The problem with this was that the only Sargon known to archaeology had lived more than a thousand years earlier. So did Isaiah get it wrong?In 1843, Paul-Emile Botta discovered a palace at Khorsabad, in present-day Iraq. He found giant winged bulls (called lamassus), that guarded the way to the king’s throne. These are now on display in the British Museum. This was the palace of the previously unknown king Sargon II. Once again, archaeology had confirmed the Bible’s record.With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
King Jehu’s Tribute - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #09 GOD: new evidence 2021-11-02 | In 1846 Henry Austin Layard discovered a beautiful black obelisk in Nimrud (modern Iraq). This obelisk dates to around 825 BC - the time of king Shalmaneser III of the Assyrians. There is a reference to the Israelite king Jehu inscribed on it. The Assyrians were enemies of the Israelites, and the obelisk shows the Israelites paying tribute to Shalmaneser. This inscription is a confirmation from the archaeological record that Jehu was a real historical person. (See 2 Kings chapters 9 and 10 in the Bible).With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
Kings of Assyria and Israel - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #08 GOD: new evidence 2021-10-18 | The Kurkh Stele was found in Diyabakir, Turkey, in 1861, by John Taylor. It dates from the time of King Shalmaneser III of Assyria (around 850 BC). It is covered all over in cuneiform text. It mentions king Ahab of Israel, who is also recorded in the Bible (1 Kings chapters 16 to 22). Ahab was a real historical person, confirmed here in the archaeological record.With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
The British Museum - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #07 GOD: new evidence 2021-10-12 | The British Museum in London gets nearly six million visitors a year. It has one of the largest collections in the world, with eight million objects. About seventy thousand of these are on display to the public. The most popular attraction is probably its collection of ancient Egyptian mummies.The British Museum is important for us in this series because many of the objects on display come from the world of the Bible – from ancient Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. These objects help us to understand the Bible better, and - in some cases - they dramatically confirm what it says.
The Queen’s Seal - Just Stories? Evidence and the Bible #06 GOD: new evidence 2021-10-05 | More and more names are coming to light in the archaeological record which confirm that what we read in the Bible concerns real people, real history and real events.Some of these finds are debatable. A good example would be the Jezebel seal. A seal carried the impression of someone’s name. It could be stamped into clay as a mark of ownership. One seal came to light in the 1960s and is now in the Israel Museum, that bears the unusual consonants Z, B, L. This indicates a Phoenician name. Part of the seal is broken off, so it is difficult to reconstruct the full name, but the most likely contender - particularly given the beauty and the value of this seal - is Jezebel the Queen. If it is right, this reconstruction means that we can hold in our hands a seal that was made at the time of Queen Jezebel, bearing her name, and reminding us thousands of years later that we are talking about a real person from a real time in history (around 860 BC. See the Bible, 1 Kings chapters 16-21)With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
King David - Just Stories: evidence & the Bible #05 GOD: new evidence 2021-09-28 | Scholars have often dismissed King David, in the Bible, as a mythical figure like King Arthur in British history. But archaeologists at Tel Dan, in Israel, found an inscription from around 800 BC, which refers to ‘the house of David.’ It also refers to the king of Israel. This stele was made by enemies of Israel, and it comes from within two centuries of the time when King David lived. This is evidence that King David was a real historical person, not a figure of myth or legend.With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
The Gates of Geshur - Just Stories: evidence & the Bible #04 GOD: new evidence 2021-09-21 | Archaeologists have recently (2019) discovered a stele (monumental stone) and the gateway of the city of Geshur from the 10th century BC - from the time of king David of Israel.Geshur was a city-kingdom that formed an alliance with Israel in the time of king David. The city of Geshur lies under the mound of Et Tel, believed to be the biblical town of Bethsaida.With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
The Kingdom of Geshur - Just Stories: evidence and the Bible #03 GOD: new evidence 2021-09-14 | Excavations at Et Tel, north of the sea of Galilee, have found the remains of the ancient city of Geshur. In the Bible, king David married the daughter of the king of Geshur (1 Chronicles 3:2) - probably more of a political alliance than a love match. Archaeologists have discovered a gateway from 10th century BC Geshur - the time of king David.With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
The first mention of Israel - Just Stories: evidence and the Bible #02 GOD: new evidence 2021-09-09 | What is the first mention of Israel in the archaeological record?In 1896 the British archaeologist Flinders Petrie discovered a stele, (or monumental stone), in Thebes, Egypt. Dating to around 1200 BC, this was an account of pharaoh Merneptah’s military campaigns, and it includes a direct reference to the people of Israel.This is the first mention of Israel outside of the Bible that has been discovered so far.With Dr. Chris Sinkinson, lecturer in Old Testament and Apologetics at Moorlands college.
Why it matters? Just Stories: evidence and the Bible #01 GOD: new evidence 2021-08-31 | One of the most important questions we can ever ask is: Is the Bible just stories - or is it really true? A lot of people think that it is just stories, but they have never even looked at it seriously. But many of the things that it records have left traces that we can still see today.There is no other book like the Bible, which records so many things that really happened, over thousands of years. Because of this we can test what it says.Where the Bible speaks about history, and where we can test what it says, it is true. In these videos, we are looking at some of the evidence for this.Why does this matter?The Bible claims that God really is there, and that he speaks and acts in the world. God has spoken and acted through things that really happened, and the Bible claims to record how God has spoken and acted.So the evidence that the Bible is true should encourage us to take its claim seriously as a message from God.So it is worth looking at this evidence. And if it is convincing, it is worth taking the Bible’s message seriously.
25. Нечестное распространение информации GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | В этих программах мы рассмотрели миф, что наука и вера находятся в конфликтных отношениях друг с другом. Мы рассмотрели некоторые ключевые события, которые должны были показать этот конфликт. Одни рассказывают эти происшествия таким образом, что их преувеличивают в истории о науке и вере в конфликте друг с другом. Иногда люди рассказывают такие истории из настоящего невежества. Иногда же их рассказывают нарочито нечестным образом. Они знают что такая правда, но у них есть своя программа. Они рассказывают эти истории из недобросовестности.
24. Как создать легенду GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | То, что многие из нас знаем о процессе Скоупса, происходит от фильма, который покрутили в 1960-ых годах и назывался “Наследуй ветер.” Но, по правде сказать, фильм “Наследуй ветер” не касался процесса Скоупса. Это было скорее изображение антикоммунистических “охот на ведьм“, которые происходили в Америке в 1950-ых годах.
23. Конфликт между христианами GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | Процесс Скоупса, не был простым конфликтом между наукой и верой. Это был конфликт между двумя группами христиан. Многие люди с обеих сторон были христианские верующие.
22. Кем был Кларенс Дарроу? GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | Кларенс Дарроу, руководивший защитой в процессе Скоупса, был самым известным юристом в стране того времени. Он был известен, как оратор, писатель и “деревенский атеист” в народном масштабе.
21. Кто был ВДж Брайан? GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | В процессе Скоупса преследованием руководил Уильям Дженнингс Брайан. Согласно легенде Брайан был невежественный, размахивающий Библией фундаменталист. Но кем он был в реальности?
20. Судебный процесс Скоупса GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | Один из самых знаменитых судебных процессов в Америке имел место в 1825г. в маленьком городке, Дейтоне, Теннесси, – “обезьяний” процесс Скоупса. Местного учителя Джона Скоупса судила группа фундаменталистов, размахивающих Библией потому, что он учил теории Эволюции в своем классе средней школы. В последовавшем за этим процессе Скоупс был оправдан, и следовательно, размахивающие Библией выглядели глупо. Вот в чем состоит знакомая всем легенда. Но, фактически, это не то, что произошло.
19. “Дела Господни” GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | Кэвендишскую лабораторию в Кембридже (Соединенное Королевство) назвали местом рождения современной физики. Здесь сделано много великих открытий, в том числе электрон, нейтрон и структура ДНК. Здесь изобретено много важных способов работы, в том числе облачная камера и рентгеновская кристаллография. Первым Кэвендишским профессором был Джеймс Клерк Максвелл. Для многих ученых в девятнадцатом веке, включая Максвелла, не было конфликта между их христианской верой и научными открытиями.
18. Создатели мифов GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | Под конец девятнадцатого века были опубликованы две влиятельные книги: “История конфликта между религией и наукой” Джона Уильяма Дрейпера была опубликована в 1874г. Затем в 1896г. была опубликована “История войны науки с теологией в христианском мире” Эндрю Диксона Уайта. Обе эти книги подчеркивали миф о конфликте. Но они наполнены плохими исследованиями и “фактами”, которые вовсе не были факты.
17. Жизни, письма и ложь GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | Миф победы Хаксли на “великих дебатах” на тему Эволюции рос еще после смерти Дарвина и Хаксли, так как их сыновья издали их “жизни и письма”. Вилберфорс умер в 1873г., так что он не имел возможности исправить учет.
16. Спин-доктор GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | В годах, последовавших за “Великими дебатами” на тему Эволюции в Оксфорде в 1860г., возник миф, что на этих ”Великих дебатах” Хаксли одурачил Вилберфорса и одержал великую победу для науки над религией. Но что произошло на самом деле? О самих дебатах письменных учетов нет и те, которые были написаны впоследствии, противоречат друг другу. Хаксли был “спин-доктором”, который контролировал содержание учета, как часть своей личной кампании, чтобы освободить науку от влияния религии.
15. Что случилось на самом деле? GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | В 1860г. в Оксфорде, состоялись известные дебаты на тему новой теории Эволюции между Томасом Хаксли и Сэмюэлом Вилберфорсом, Всем известно, что Хаксли одурачил Вилберфорса и одержал великую победу для науки над религией.
14. Переломный пункт GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | “Великие дебаты”, состоявшиеся в Оксфорде в 1860г., назвали “переломным пунктом” в “конфликте” между наукой и религией. Но разве было так в действительности?
13. “Великие дебаты” – Хаксли и Вилберфорс GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | “Великие дебаты”, на тему Эволюцию состоялись в Оксфордском Музее Естественной Истории в 1860г. Все знают, что Томас Хаксли одурачил Сэмюэла Вилберфорса. Хаксли одержал великую победу для сил науки над отсталыми силами религии. А кто же были эти участники в “Великих дебатах”?
12. “Великие дебаты” – интеллектуальный фон GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | Всем известно, что “Великие дебаты”, состоявшиеся в Оксфорде 30 июня1860г. между бульдогом Дарвина, Томасом Хенри Хаксли, и епископом оксфордским, Сэмюэлом Вилберфорсом, оказались переломным пунктом в конфликте между наукой и верой, и большой победой для сил науки и просвещения над темными, отсталыми силами религии… Но то, что “известно всем”, фактически неправильно. Что случилось на самом деле?
11. Ньютон, Бойл и Королевское общество GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | В годах после Галилея ученые такие как Исаак Ньютон, Роберт Бойл и создатели британского королевского общества не видели никакого конфликта между их верой и их научными исследованиями.
10.Что случилось с Галилеем в действительности? GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | Всем известно, что Галилей, отважный ученый, был преследуем христианской церковью потому, что он занял твердую позицию за правду. Его судили, посадили в тюрьму, испытали и даже, может быть, казнили. Правда от этого сильно отличается: Галилея судили в Риме в 1633г. Он был призван виновником. Но его не испытали, не посадили в тюрьму и не казнили. Его посадили под домашний арест, где мог продолжать свою научную работу до того, как умер своей смертью в 1642г.
9. Книга Галилея, в которой обидел папу римского GOD: new evidence 2021-08-10 | Почему Галилея судили? Это дело было намного сложнее, чем часто слышим. Великая книга Галилея “Диалог, касающийся двух главных световых систем” была запланирована представить сбалансированный список аргументов за изображения вселенной, ориентированные, с одной стороны, на Землю, а с другой на Солнце. Вместо этого, Галилей приписывал дураку все аргументы за вселенную, ориентированную на Землю, таким образом одурачивая папу римского. Не удивительно, что его судили.
