What is the earliest recorded case of genocide?
Some of the wars and battles in the Bible were considered genocides, for example the battle in the Old Testament, where Saul and his army destroyed all the Amalekites but failed to kill the livestock, as Samuel's had instructed. Some features of the ideology motivating the Roman destruction of Carthage in 146 BC have surprisingly modern echoes in 20th-century genocides. Perhaps 150,000 were massacred.
How do you calculate dark energy?
Cosmological red-shift tells us that the space within our Universe is expanding. It is NOT that the matter within our Universe exploded; rather, SPACE ITSELF is growing bigger. Until about 1995, nobody knew of any entity, other than gravity, in our Universe that could alter the rate of expansion -- and gravity could only slow down this rate. The question was how much was gravity slowing this expansion. Several researchers worked to resolve this question. When Saul Parlemutter first calculated that the rate of expansion had actually increased over time (we're talking billion of years, mind you), he was sure he had made a dreadful mistake, and diligently searched for his error. After much effort, he finally concluded he had NOT made a mistake, and that the rate of expansion of the space in our Universe really IS increasing. So what IS the entity that is causing the rate of expansion to increase? We have NO IDEA!! That's why it's been given the name "dark energy." We know it's there because we can see its effects, but (for now) we don't know what it is. So how do we "calculate" dark energy? We simply compare the change in the rate of expansion that we SHOULD see (ie, what we would expect if dark energy didn't exist) -- and this rate should be very close to zero -- with the change that we do see. The difference is the amount of dark energy in our Universe.
Who is Stephen?
He was a follower of Jesus. He was later stoned by Jews, while Saul (later called Paul) was holding their clothes. He is considered to be the first Christian martyr. Right before he dies though, he sees Jesus sitting in heaven, and they say Stephen's was as britght as an angels.
Did Moses have a map when he fled Egypt Had maps been drawn at that time?
According to the Bible, Moses was forced to flee Egypt after killing the Egyptian overseer who was beating an Israelite slave. The Bible does not mention any maps. Nor does it mention a direction or intended destination so a map would not have made any difference.The Exodus, led by Moses, is commonly estimated to date to about 1250 BC. As no mention of maps is made it is not possible to know what Moses may or may not have had available. Also the Exodus story is a foundation-narrative of Israel and there is no archaeological evidence for any of its events, nor do any of the recorded histories of other peoples and nations in the area document events told in Exodus that would have obviously impacted them. Therefore it seems unlikely that the story of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt under the leadership of Moses happened as described, thus maps would probably not have even been useful.Maps of cities based on survey data were in use in Babylon before 1750 BC, by the time of the rule of Hammurabi. "Maps" of local landmarks in cave paintings date back to 25000 BC (this is during the last ice age, which ended about 12000 BC).Evidence of the Exodus:The Ipuwer papyrus describes Egypt's experiencing the Plagues: "Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood, death is not scarce...there is no food...neither fruit nor herbs can be found...barley has perished...all is ruin...the statues are burned" (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50).The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.But in any case, few nations are content to record embarrassing setbacks honestly. Even today, British and American textbooks describe the American Revolution in very different ways.An example of the above principle:The destruction of Sennacherib's army at the walls of Jerusalem was denied by secular theorists, because the Assyrians made no mention of it. But then it was found that Berosus and Herodotus both state that Sennacherib's military campaign in Judea ended in plague and defeat. It should not surprise us that the Assyrians themselves didn't record their own losses.It is only the Hebrew Bible, because of its Divine origin, that exposes the faults of its own people and even magnifies them.In no other religious text can one find such openness. None of the Israelites were immune to strong criticism: Abraham (Genesis 16:5), Reuben (Gen.ch.35), Simeon and Levi (Gen.ch.34 and 49), Judah (Gen.ch.38), Joseph's brothers (Gen.ch.37), Moses (Numbers ch.20), Aaron (Exodus 32:2-4), Samson (Judges 14:1-3), Eli's sons (1 Samuel 2:12), Samuel's sons (1 Samuel 8:1-3), Saul (1 Samuel ch.15), David (2 Samuel ch.11-12), Solomon (1 Kings ch.11), and many others."Although critics contended that the Hebrew Bible is unhistorical and untrustworthy, time and time again, the archaeological record supports places, times, and events mentioned in Scripture. We now have archaeological information about a number of patriarchal towns mention in Scripture, including Bethel, Shechem, Jerusalem, Mamre, Gerar, Beer-sheba, and Dothan" (Professor John Arthur Thompson, The Bible and Archaeology). The personal names Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are names of the time and area mentioned in the Bible (ibid)."One city after another, one civilization after another, one culture after another, whose memories were enshrined only in the Bible, have been restored to their proper places in ancient history by the studies of archaeologists" (Prof. Gleason Archer, A Survey of Old Testament Introduction).No parchment, scroll, or inscription has ever been found that would support the Bible-critics' JEPD (different sources) hypothesis, which remains a set of postulates. And those ancient writers who mention, describe, summarize or translate the Torah (Josephus, Samaritans, Targum, Septuagint etc.), describe it in its complete form.Archaeological finds, such as the Ugarit documents and those of Nuzu, Mari, Susa, Ebla, and Tel el-Amarna, have repeatedly caused the critics to retract specific claims. The entire social milieu portrayed in the Torah, once criticized as anachronistic, has been shown to be historically accurate, including customs of marriage, adoption, contracts, inheritance, purchases, utensils, modes of travel, people's names and titles, etc. Professor Gleason Archer states: "In case after case where historical inaccuracy was alleged as proof of late and spurious authorship of the biblical documents, the Hebrew record has been vindicated by the results of excavations, and the condemnatory judgment of the Documentary theorists have been proved to be without foundation."
