    About this ebook

    Many people think the Bible is simply a book of myths. A famous politician recently dared anyone to provide proof of meeting God. Isaiah indeed had such an encounter, and this booklet provides exegesis of his supernatural prophecies.

      Before getting started, let’s review a few notes …

      *This work mostly uses British spelling, except for the quoted material, which often employs U.S. spelling.

      *The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, also rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah.

      *The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).

      *Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.

      *As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.

      I. Introduction: Foundations and Claims

      God has given us a book, and ill shall befall creation when this enlightening magnanimity is hid or obscured. It is the Word of God which contains vintage fruit from the Tree of Life. We need this nourishment. We need the hope of heaven and divine rewards to motivate us. We need the Law and the fear of punishment to curb our lusts. We need the comforting words to bring us joy, the fact of providence to quell our anxiety and sorrow, and the definition of love to embrace a world which normally refuses to embrace us in return.

      What would happen individually and collectively if we didn’t have these teachings, motivating factors, and definitions? One could speculate that drugs, drunkenness, and sexual promiscuity would run rife. Suicide would probably be a problem, as would silly scientific hysterias in an attempt to fulfil a sense of moral duty—only in a meaningless, painless, trendy sort of way. We won’t stand for bendy straws, sunscreen, or large bottles of Pepsi! But never mind about that whole ‘baby-body-parts’ thing; that’s merely a necessary by-product of ‘women’s health.’ To top it all off, there would surely be a tremendous streak of irascible hatred and dissention between every imaginable people-group-distinction. Just a guess.

      So why did many modern cultures decide to leave God behind? A chief cause is that Darwinism won the day, proving the Bible to be a silly little fable; right? That’s the background noise—but it isn’t true. If the theory of Darwinism and the Bible are put on the scales of objective truth, without a doubt it is the Good Book which has proven to be weightier over the past century. Darwinism has fallen apart all over the place, like a jet-plane made from corrugated cardboard. Classical Darwinism was basically dead-on-arrival, and any attempt to rehabilitate the theory should have been given up after the discovery of DNA, etc.

      Most fascinating of all is that, given our technological prowess, we have the ability to test in a laboratory if biological entities evolve features with greater complexity or not. Why haven’t scientists been successful at inducing laboratory evolution? Be scientists. Prove your constructs. Tests your theories.

      Most famously, a Darwinist began performing such a test decades ago, causing tens of thousands of generations of E. coli to come and go. After tens of thousands of generations of simple, pliable bacterium, E. coli is still nothing more than simple, pliable bacterium. It isn’t even getting remotely close to a tadpole or an earwig—or merely a new, spectacular bacterium—and is thus several miles away from some silly actor with a big forehead, a mono-brow, and a crude club…

      …Each day, Lenski reports getting about 6.6 generations of bacteria. So in one day, Lenski’s E. coli see the calculated equivalent of approximately 132 years of human elapsed
