Is the Bible a Human Literary Creation? Five Points to Ponder

Even a Tiny Mosquito?

A person can manufacture the most complex means of transportation like luxury cars, airplanes, and cruise ships,

but they cannot create a human heart the size of a fist...

A person can invent the most advanced technological devices like computers, cameras, and cell phones,

but they cannot create a mosquito...

A person can build the most magnificent buildings like luxurious residential complexes, towers, and hotels,

but they cannot create an apple...

A person can develop chemical compounds used as life-saving medicines,

but they cannot produce essential compounds for our lives such as: breast milk, water, or blood...

So who is it, in their power and wisdom, created such marvelous creations like the heart, mosquito, apple, water, and blood, which humans cannot replicate or even produce an adequate substitute for?

Through contemplation of the creation around us, anyone, even the simplest, can come to recognize and believe in the Creator of the world. All creation "shouts" that there is a mighty supreme power, possessing infinite genius and great might, which created the world and plans every single detail in it.

Transplant Rejection

The immune system is one of the most important systems in the body, its function is to identify and eliminate foreign invaders that might harm us. When the immune system doesn't function well, it causes chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and cancer.

The human immune system is somewhat akin to a military system that operates continuously, regularly, and daily. The system is composed of many "soldiers," each with different roles in the combat array against the sworn enemy, which can be a virus, bacteria, fungus, or any microorganism, referred to in professional language as a pathogen.

Given this, if you take an organ from one person and transplant it into another, the body will reject the transplant: Why? Because the immune system attacks the new organ, despite its necessity, as it sees it as a foreign invader (which is why patients after transplant surgeries are given lifelong immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection).

The greatest wonder is that there exists a completely foreign body, "implanted" in a woman's body, that the immune system does not reject! What is it? The fetus! Conversely, if you take tissue from the newborn baby's body and implant it in the mother's body, the immune system will reject it!

How does a fetus, an "alien graft," not get rejected by the body's immune system?

The mother's immune system undergoes a change, during which Th1 cells - "drivers of the immune system" - go on a 9-month vacation, and their role is temporarily filled by other immune cells - Th2 - which function slightly differently than the previous ones.

This is a miraculous process, where for nine months there's a kind of "selective shutdown" of the mother's immune system, preventing fetal rejection. It's one of the wonders of creation, only a supernatural hand can guide and oversee this!

The Creation Testifies to the Creator

Is there a God? People tend to get entangled in this question, but it's very easy for me to prove to you logically/rationally that there is a God!
Want proof? Please, follow me step by step:

Question 1: How was a table created? There are only two possibilities:
Possibility 1: It was "spur of the moment", there was an "explosion" from which the parts connected perfectly and created a table.
Possibility 2: Someone planned and created it.
What will you answer? Possibility 2: Someone planned and created. Why? Because you see something designed and therefore it's clear to us someone planned it.

Question 2: What do you say about creation, about the world? Is it orderly and planned? Or was it made "spur of the moment" with disorder?
Answer: Planned. Why? Because it's clearly seen that the universe is composed of fitting parts like a puzzle in wonderful planning. Simple observation of the human body shows it: the brain structure, hands, the visual, auditory, respiratory systems, the heart. As well as the animal and plant system, clouds, rain, the solar system, and more...

Conclusion up to here: There is planning and order in the world! And if the world is orderly and planned, it must have a planner. Why? Because creation testifies to a creator - as you agreed earlier regarding the table! You can't change your mind...J

Question 3: So, who planned and created this sophisticated and amazing world we live in? There are only two possibilities:
Possibility 1: Some human factor created it all. Perhaps a skilled carpenter or electrician...
Possibility 2: Someone superhuman, a supreme power.
What will you answer? Possibility 2, because it's evident to all that it's not a human factor. Why? Because a human cannot create such complex and grand systems. Rather, it necessarily involves the reality of a supreme force, with mighty powers, that succeeded in creating unimaginable systems, from inanimate and plant to the living, including the speaking human, and significant systems in nature such as the sun, the moon, the stars, and more...

Friends! Logically, not with blind faith, we've just concluded that it's a world, planned and created by a superhuman factor, a supreme force. And that is the name for the one and unique - the Creator of the world!

The Balloon That Doesn't Burst

Have you ever tried to inflate a balloon beyond its limit? I assume the balloon burst... This process makes sense, as when inflating a balloon, its wall thickness shrinks and they become thinner and weaker.

Wait... if so, what happens during pregnancy? How does the expectant mother's expanding belly not "burst"?...

The abdominal wall, expanding as the fetus grows, could not bear the pressure if it weren't lined with collagen tissues. These tissues thicken and strengthen the wall. Without collagen, a catastrophe would ensue!

Another important function of collagen is to prevent the premature opening of the uterus. During labor, the brain releases a substance called estrogen. Estrogen dissolves the collagen layer, relaxes uterine bonds, and allows the baby to enter the world.

How did the collagen tissues reach the abdominal walls? Who "knew" they were necessary in this place, at this time, and exactly for nine months? How does the body "know" when precisely to release estrogen? Is there not a guiding hand here?

Could such a wondrous process have developed on its own, without a creator and planner?

Joshua's Altar on Mount Ebal

Regrettably, in our generation, despite the countless existing proofs, some deny the Bible and claim that it is merely a collection of myths that never happened... But beyond the many proofs that the Torah is true, archaeological finds provide supporting evidence for the tradition of Israel and the events mentioned therein. For example, the archaeological discovery - Joshua's Altar on Mount Ebal.

Professor Adam Zertal from the University of Haifa gained fame following excavations at the site on Mount Ebal. During them, he uncovered an altar, which he identified as the altar Joshua built with the 12 tribes before entering the land of Israel (Joshua, 8).

When examining all the physical facts uncovered at Mount Ebal – the nature of the find, location, time, and historical context – a picture emerges, the meaning of which is difficult to refute: A cultic site, unique in its kind and time on Mount Ebal, aligns with the laws of the Torah.

Findings uncovered:

1. The altar was built from whole unhewn stones (in accordance with the Torah's prohibition against using iron on altar stones).

2. The altar aligns with descriptions in the Bible: its shape is square, one ascends it with a ramp and not steps (in keeping with the Torah's prohibition against building steps to the altar).

3. The altar's dimensions match those described in the book of Joshua, chapter 8, and the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 27.

4. A large quantity of bones was found at the site, all of kosher animals.

5. On Mount Ebal, a clear division of the area into three sections was found: a large valley where the people stood, a 14-dunam compound, and a smaller upper compound where the altar was located. In Joshua chapter 8, verse 33, the ceremony description appears: "And all Israel, elders, officers, and judges stood on this side and that side of the Ark, before the priests, the Levites, carrying the Ark of the Covenant of Hashem..." Here we see a division into three groups: the people, a moderate leadership, and priests and Levites - exactly the division found in the area.

6. The dating of the altar matches the period mentioned in the Bible (about 1200 BCE), remarkable chronological accuracy.

It's needless to say, in all historical sources there is only one structure matching the nature, location, and time of the present find, as described in the verses: "Then Joshua built an altar to Hashem, God of Israel, on Mount Ebal... an altar of whole stones over which no iron had been wielded. And they offered burnt offerings on it to Hashem and sacrificed peace offerings... And all Israel and its elders and officers and judges stood on this side and that side of the Ark before the priests, the Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant of Hashem, both the stranger and the native, half of them facing Mount Gerizim and half of them facing Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Hashem had commanded first to bless the people of Israel." (Joshua chapter 8).
