Bill Maher – Blashphemer of the Stars

“Bill Maher’s ignorance of the scriptures has led him to false conclusions but his arrogance has forced him to lead others astray”.

It seems that someone else was recently admonished for ignorance and arrogance.

Congratulations, Bill. You’re in OJ-Ville.

Please enjoy your stay!

For those who seek miracles look no further than the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Impossible to build yet here it stands.

Said to be built by Khufu (aka Cheops). But where did Khufu suddenly obtain the knowledge of the heavens and the Earth? Where did he find the skilled craftsmen to perform unimaginable precision cuts on 20-ton stones? Where did he obtain the uncanny cement that still holds to this day but has not been duplicated? Where did he obtain the sacred cubit also used in Arc of the Covenant and Solomon’s Temple? What tools did Khufu use to carve the solid granite coffer of the King’s Chamber?

Why was all this knowledge and ability just as suddenly lost? Why does no other pyramid contain an ascending passage? Why was there no corpse or hieroglyphics inside?
(More facts on the Great Pyramid)

Interestingly one of the first serious studies of the Great Pyramid was published the same year as Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. In the case of the Great Pyramid mankind would have had to Devolve as nobody has since built anything that could match it.

Finally, why does the Sphinx show signs of water erosion? (Just thought I’d throw that in since we’re in the neighborhood :> )

I’ve never heard Bill Maher talk about the Great Pyramid. I’d love to hear his theories on how it went down…

On HBO’s Realtime (Jan 18, 2008) Bill Maher claims that half of the ten commandments are stupid. For the first two commandments he commented “Why is monotheistic faith better than polytheistic faith? If you believe in, like, a magic person doing magic things, why is it so different if it’s superman or the fantastic four?”

Fine words if you’re 100% certain that the Bible is a book of fairy tales….

Among the reasons Bill Maher rejects the Bible is the assumption that the Bible lays out a 6000-year timeline for Earth while scientists claims it’s as old as several billion years.

But the Bible does not assert that the Earth is 6000 years old. That myth stems from a chronology most popularly published in 1650 AD by the Archbishop of Armagh, James Usher. Usher compiled the male lineages from Adam through Solomon as given in the (Hebrew) Bible plus the biblical and historical records from Solomon through the destruction of the temple and Babylonian captivity plus historical records of other cultures from the captivity through Jesus.

Usher’s chronology, plus our own account of the past two thousand years, then, reveals a six thousand (plus) year history of the human race, not the Earth, as the Earth was created “In the beginning…” We don’t know when that was. How much time elapsed between the creation of the Earth and the creation of man (Adam)? According to our best scientific evidence several billion years.

The earliest books of the Bible were written in Hebrew. Translation from Hebrew is not a trivial matter. There often can be several valid meanings. The King James Version of Genesis 1:2 reads “And the earth was without form, and void…”. However, an equally acceptable Hebrew translation would be “And the Earth became a waste and a desolation…” (For a nice discussion of this issue click here)

If the Earth became a waste, then at some time earlier it was not (a waste.)

“And the Earth became” is the meaning that best allows science to coexist peacefully with creation.
