Thanks, i like this episode because you mentioned the same questions i have been thinking about when i read the old testament. ## bonus for this episode = with English and Chinese subtitles put together. Could you please keep on posting subtitles of English and Chinese (original, traditional writing only - Hongkong ) for the upcoming episodes ? Thank you.
Interesting sharing indeed. The Old Testament Creation narrative was carefully written by ancient Jewish scholars to address important theological issues according to their ancient worldview to address ancient Near Eastern culture, which is pre-scientific. As such, ancient people had no problem accepting the existence and importance of deities, gods, supernatural and God. We today have a very difficult time to appreciate the message in the Bible and its proper meaning given our modern materialistic scientific training, emphasising proofs and data. Yet, an open mind about their ancient worldview and religion will change the way of how to see things and begin to see why it’s important. Yet, without the New Testament as a key, it’s still difficult to accept the Old Testament as realistically significant. I sincerely wish one day the door will be opened to you as you begin to knock on the door. Then, hopefully all puzzles will fall into places probably.
