Hidden Treasures in the Book of Job

Arguably the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job has a surprising amount to say about some of the newest scientific discoveries and controversies. Far from a book that is just about suffering, Job is filled with rich insight into both ancient and modern questions about

the formation of the world
the difference between animals and humans
cosmology
dinosaurs and the fossil record
how to care for creation
and more

With careful consideration and exegesis, internationally known astrophysicist and Christian apologist Hugh Ross adds yet another compelling argument to the case for the veracity of the biblical commentary on the history of the universe, Earth, life, and humanity. Hidden Treasures in the Book of Job shows that the Bible is an accurate predictor of scientific discoveries and a trustworthy source of scientific information, and that both the book of Scripture and the book of nature are consistent both internally and externally.Arguably the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job has a surprising amount to say about some of the newest scientific discoveries and controversies.

Name of a japanese character?

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

i recently read a book about a young man from japan during the feudal period of (the 1800s). He started out as a fisherman at the age of nine. Then, he and his co-fishermen were shipwrecked. mon-jirro? maybe. Anyway, they were saved by american whalers, but knew that they wouldn’t be allowed back into Japan. They were taken to hawaii, and the boy was adopted by the captain, and sent to school in america. He went prospecting for gold, and found enough to get passage back to japan. When he got there(or to an island near there) he was arrested for trespassing, but a lord(you know, king-thing?) set him free, and allowed him to see his family again? Eventually, commodore something landed on japanese soil, and negotiated the treaty of Kanagawa. Does anyone(maybe someone who’s japanese and is familiar with the story) know the young man’s name? Oh, also, he was turned from a fisherman into a samurai(something unknown at the time)
