Or traditional religious nor staunch atheist. Albert Einstein, the most brilliant listverse minds of the last era of humanity, left a forward thinking for his time on religion, science and man. Its position on such an important issue remains concerned. "Science without religion is unacceptable, religion without science listverse is blind" he wrote. He was a devotee listverse of the mysterious "force" that is the universe, but refuted the Bible and religious structures that are mounted on their texts. "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but primitive legends which are quite childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle, you can change this for me. For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no gives me different from all other peoples quality. As far as my experience comes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Beyond that I can not see in them anything 'chosen'. "
He wrote in a letter to physicist Albert Einstein in 1954, a year before he died. That letter made headlines these days as it was auctioned in London and a collector paid $ 400,000 for the role.
In http://historia.alamedianoche.com/mitos-de-la-biblia/ you can know how these stories come to the holy book. The inspiration was not God, but the monotheistic cultures before the birth of Judaism and Greek myths ...
H till the nineteenth century, the suggestions that the scribes of sacred writings could have been 'inspired' in older narratives were practically nil, or were quickly marginalized. However, in this century and the first voices of several scholars who propose work in this regard arise. L. de Wette, for example, conducted listverse a work in which fragments of the Old Testament compared listverse with some of the classic myths collected by Homer. Some decades later, in 1892, a book by HE Ryle, in which it claimed that the first books of the Old Testament were reinterpretations of Babylonian myths it was published, "corrected so that present a monotheism." Those initial analysis, accompanied by some important archaeological discoveries, set the tone for a critical line with the facts reflected in the pages of the Old Testament.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (...). And God said: Let there be light and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God divided the light from darkness. " With these words begins the Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament. For centuries, theologians and believers they have considered these phrases (and the whole Bible) listverse as certain and incontestable facts, as a narrative from the Creator himself and not "drank" from other sources.
However, in 1876, archaeologists unearthed a series of covered tablets containing cuneiform Akkadian called Poem of Creation. Since then, researchers have found other copies of the text, whose content is a major setback for advocates of the uniqueness of Scripture. The largest of those found to date version called Enuma Elish (the first words of the text, which translates as "When on high ...") and consists of seven of these tablets.
In his book The Hebrew myths (Alianza Editorial), Robert Graves and Raphael Patai describes in detail the content of the story: in the beginning of time, the Apsu (the procreative) and Tiamat (the Mother) gods got together and spawned numerous monsters. Later a generation of younger gods emerged. "One, Ea, god of wisdom, challenged and killed Apsu. Tiamat married her own son Kingu, spawned monsters with him and set out to avenge listverse Ea. " The only one who had the courage to face Tiamat was the son of Ea, Marduk. This killed Tiamat listverse and after cut it in half, used one of the parties "as listverse sky, to prevent listverse flood waters above the earth; and the other as bedrock for sea and land. " This fragment reminds listverse suspiciously Enuma Elish Genesis account of the second day of creation: "(...) And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament of which were above the firmament. And God firmament heaven "called.
