With the recent discoveries of submerged cities... "Some have even caused scientists to question the history of human civilization."
http://weburbanist.com/2007/09/12/underw..."There are over 300 cultures scattered throughout the world that have a worldwide flood story. Coincidence? I think not."
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.p..."Some structures within the complex may be as long as 400 metres wide and as high as 40 metres," he said. "Some are sitting on top of each other. They show very distinct shapes and symmetrical designs of a non-natural kind. We've shown them to scientists in Cuba, the U.S. and elsewhere, and nobody has suggested they are natural."
http://s8int.com/water1.htmlUntil now all we had were legends and folklore... it would seem "faith" is not even required when it comes to the evidence that only recently has surfaced. With the advancement of technology, it would appear there is also an advancement in theology. Now more than ever the "old writ" of ancient text comes alive with each modern discovery. Who would have thought that what was deemed mythical legend, would be front-page news? Given time all our would-be questions will be answered...
Familiar with the story of the scientist determined to scale the Mountain of Truth? Acquiring all the knowledge and information possible he struggled through many hardships to reach the summit, only to find a theologian already sitting on the peak. The scientist had nearly killed himself to get there, but the theologian wasn't even out of breath. This is the accurate picture today... we have those who wear themselves out by every means possible to disprove or debunk, what is now blatant evidence.
Who would have thought that it only took the advancement of our best minds... to catch up to those prophets of old? Those bare-foot wandering men of God, were only a few thousand years ahead of the Gucci wearing, Mercedes driving, California dream-teams... diving into the deep, only to discover and prove what was believed for Millenia!
IN fact it is the modern archeologist that seem to dust off his bible for guidance, more oft than the "believer" ... ironically it will be the scientist in the end that discovers GOD, and brings back the wayward "prodigal son" to the truth of the scriptures! It almost seems that God has been toying with us, by hiding from view those things that could have easily swayed our reasonings... yet He didn't stack the deck in His favor, allowing us our devices. I think He would have us take Him at His Word...
and rediscover that indeed, He has revealed Himself to man.
I for one, am looking forward with anticipation to the next big discovery...
it may be nothing less than the second coming of Christ!
