Die Bybel is nie ‘n wetenskaphandboek nie. Daar is baie aspekte van ons daaglikse moderne lewe wat glad nie deur die Bybel aangespreek word nie. ‘n Goeie voorbeeld is die ekologiese krisis waarmee ons vandag gekonfronteer word. Reg? Verkeerd!

The violent floods from those two rivers gave rise to the earliest flood myths. The word Mesopotamia literally means "between the rivers," and it was the land of the great early civilizations of Sumer, Assyria, Akkadia and Babylon - in fact it is known as the cradle of civilizations.
