Praise God! Glory to Jesus! Despite the outstanding efforts of
Creation Scientists, some unsaved atheist believers still doubt the historicity and inerrancy of the Old Testament. This vile mutinous mob has now finally been silenced. Archaeologists have found the remains of the
Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8) in Israel near the town of Tel Aviv (or Jaffa or the Biblical
Japho, which
proves that this is all real; Joshua 19:46 mentions this site). It is sad and heartbreaking that
American Creation Scientists have
not been pivotal during the excavation and that we have to rely on
Jewish scholars to unravel these mysteries. This did cause some erroneous interpretations, but we'll get to those a bit later. First, let us see the
definite proof of Genesis 2-4 being True™:
Quote:
Israeli archaeologists have uncovered next to one of the country’s busiest roads the site of an extraordinarily well preserved prehistoric “paradise” used by stone age hunter-gatherers over half a million years ago, who left behind evidence of hundreds of knapped flint hand-axes.

This
proves that the site represents the remains of a paradise, i.e.,
Eden. Next, we must see if this paradise is in concert with the data that we have regarding this garden.
Genesis 2:9-10
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Genesis 2:19
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
And when we return to the archaeological report, we can see that
the data fit exactly! I have color-coded the above verses and the citation below for easy fact-checking.
Quote:
Archaeologists believe the site, north-east of Tel Aviv, was regarded as a sort of “paradise” for prehistoric hunter-gatherers – with a stream, vegetation and an abundance of animals encouraging them to return.

Everything fits 103%. The
Garden of Eden has been found. It looked like this!
Such a
wonderful place! But, there is
more. To convert even the vilest, the
most abominable atheist, the remains of the first family also contain something so
extraordinary that all this must have been designed by
Jesus for our days, these last days before
Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
The findings include the murder weapon that Cain used to kill Abel!
Abel was a
comely youth with smooth
Caucasian skin. He tended sheep, and the beasts kept him and
God satisfied (Genesis 4:4).
Can was a nasty
vegetable gardener.
God disliked him (Genesis 4:5). Based on the picture above we can see that he must have been sweaty with an
unpleasant armpit odor.
Now, back to the historical report. From the results we learn that the
murder weapon was among the findings. Never mind the erroneous dating of the
tools at the moment. We'll correct that in due course.
Quote:
The most striking find was evidence of a well-developed lithic industry – referring to elaborately worked stone tools – including hundreds of flint hand-axes typical of the ancient Acheulian culture that existed in the Lower Paleolithic era from about 1.5 million to 200,000 years ago.

Here's
a picture of the tool in question.
This must have been carved by
Abel himself when he processed his sheep for offerings. It must have been
seized by Cain when he attacked his brother. The
Biblical account verifies my hypothesis.
Genesis 4:8
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Was this tool useful for that purpose? The archaeologists verify that. It was, indeed, used for butchering. In this case, Cain used it to cruelly
butcher his brother.
Quote:
Acheulian hand-axes – which scientists now believe were used for a variety of purposes from butchering to digging –

In addition, well-researched artistic accounts of the incident verify the
shape and form of the weapon.
Conclusion: The site
is the
Garden of Eden and the tool depicted is the
first murder weapon. Now, because of the unsaved nature of the scientists, some mistakes have crept into the report. First, the age of the findings.

How could these tools be 1.5 million years old when the
Earth was Created
4004 BC, you may ask. The
Bible comes to our rescue here.
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
This is from the
New Testament, not the Old One. As the
Jewish scholars would
only know the Old Testament, they would be unaware of this verse. Thus, they have mixed up days with years. By doing some
advanced calculus, we can determine that 1.5 million days is exactly
4 106.8639 years. This is so close to the known figure of
4004 BC that it cannot be a coincidence.
Another issue is a more disgusting one. One more claim of the scientists needs to be rectified.
Quote:
an extinct species of early human - homo erectus – may have returned to the site repeatedly, perhaps attracted by a water source and abundant game, leaving behind evidence of their primitive stone tools.

The
obsession with sodomy by atheists never ceases to astonish us. This is simply a mistake that can be dismissed. Adam was no homo, nor his sons. They were (at least Cain)
violent murderous villains and their mother a
criminal disobeying harlot (Genesis 3:6), but they were not sodomites. Nor were the men
erected at least not before the Fall (Genesis 3:6) as
no erections were necessary in the undying
Eden. Let us not discuss this any further.
To supplement the findings, it would be very useful to check the murder weapon for
Abel's blood and extract the
DNA. By sequencing the genome of the second generation of humans we could determine with precision how the Fall (Genesis 3:6) and the subsequent decay have corrupted our hereditary material during the millennia.
Glory.
Yours in Christ,
