So sheep-herders could write 2000 years ago?

What book are you talking about?

And which translation thereof?

Zoonomia; or the Laws of Organic Life (1794) by Erasmus Darwin is a work of freemasons. He is Charles Darwin's grandfather. It is an occult work, created to lead people down the path to destruction. I like that fact. Atheism is so cool. That's why abortion is so trendy. Because life doesn't matter because it was an accident anyway. May your mother be pro choice. Amen.

But ... that was only about 218 years ago ... what happened to the 2000 year timeline?

Are you perhaps talking about 'THE book' which was translated from Greek, - which was, itself, translated from Hebrew texts many thousands of years before your target date of 2000 years ago?

Are we talking about THAT book?

Whether or not the Bible is correct in it's assesments or not, the book was not written by idiots. Many of the writers were supposedly intelligent and educated Jewish officials, educated Roman citizens, and last but certainly not least: Very Educated an intelliegent Kings. (King Solomon supposedly being the wisest man to have ever lived).

Hmmm. That's a subject that I'm not going to broach tonight.

Before I go to sleep, awaken again and repost here - how about TRULY investigating astrotheology to ascertain where the influence for biblical texts may have originated?

Just a clue.

One star for you and your lost heathen friends.

1st Peter 1:16
We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

1 Corinthians 1:18
New International Version (NIV)
Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Yeah, but you won't listen, you're waayyy to smart for that. You could even ask God to answer you personally if He is real and the bible is true and He would answer you, but you will not.

He's 'different' - but he's 100% honest in his presentations.

He's not 'telling us' - he asks everyone to research everything he talks about, to determine whether or not it 'fits' into our reality. I have much respect for Santos Bonacci. He's not selling anything but a deeper understanding of who we are, and where we come from.

And there's no charge ...

Many of the observations and information in the Bible are only now coming into the understanding of science.
Explain how sheep herders knew as much or more than modern scientists.

religion is just a way to cope with this short shitty life of injustice and misery,so people create things like gods and afterlifes in the hope that somehow their will be justice and happiness in some other world, its just illusion,but it keeps people from going completly insain, so its necessary.

It's a comfort read. People would go nuts if they knew that when they die they're dead. Humans are eternal children and need a father figure to fix their problems, tell them what to do and what not to do, punish them when naughty and provide them with a warm safe place when the bell tolls.
I look around me and see fragile minds that would sooner believe a lie and that mommy and daddy are in heaven waiting for them, than accept life for what it is (fucking amazing!) and get on with it :-)

That's nothing, compared to how many and how fanatically believe in a book that was written 1400 years ago under dictation by an illitterate nut in the desert.

Resulting in many different books and lot of slaughtering until only one arbitrary version remained.

And lot of killing even after that
