If the 'Word of God' is the word of an 'Omnipotent' God, why couldn't he just 'poof' his word into being, if doing so for the entire universe, this world & all the animal* life on such with nary a thought, was as piss easy as being 'Omnipotent' would suggest?!
A 'God' who limits his omnipotence is no God.
*- Yet, he couldn't just 'poof' into being the first humans into being in the same way as mere animals, or even a world & a universe? My but that's selective 'Omnipotence'...! [/hyper-sarcasm]

"Much of the wisdom of the Bible comes from North Africa (the historical Israelites were black Africans, not Middle-Eastern peoples)."
[citation Seriously Fucking needed]
Love to see the evidence for that 'claim' (as per Erich von Daniken4Life's equally supposedly 'credible' claim that early Africans had such [i]advanced[/i] 'technology', they were essentially like the Yautja - influencing other different cultures worldwide - in "Alien vs. Predator").
That professorship at the History department at Cambridge University is yours for the asking! Especially, as creativerealms says here http://www.fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=100538&Page=2#1657357: "When you know nothing about something the best thing to do is to make up ****."

According to the 'Word of God' - the literal 'Word of God', with absolutely no 'Interpretation' etc allowed; if the 'Word of God' says it that way, it means it that way - this is the indisputable model of the entire universe:

PROTIP: Deluded4Life, if you so much as think of questioning the veracity of the above, you are defying your 'God', you admit that you aren't a Christian as you've always claimed, thus you are forced to agree that the above is Reality; no 'belief' or 'faith' allowed.

Now, as I've conclusively proved to Christain Cuntservative Batshit in the above link, the ancient Greeks proved - mathematically - that the Earth was spherical way before Christianity existed (they also proved that Pi =/= exactly 3, as the Bible says - and it is the indisputable 'Word of God', yet, somehow mere decimals prove even God wrong. So much for Inerrancy of your 'God's word, hmmmmm...?!).
I also refer you to the pic in that linked thread: the M-777 Howitzer. The US Army/Marines, in their use of the most advanced artillery piece in existence, rely on mathematics based on Magellan's navigational discoveries: the fact that the Earth is spherical, and not 'flat', as per the accepted 'wisdom' of the time: The Bible.
Those US Army/Marine troops, in ensuring those 155mm shells hit their target (also via info from the Forward Observation Post) base their calculations on wind speed, air temperature, and curvature of the Earth to determine the accuracy of the rounds fired from said M-777. To omit any of these factors, and it's guaranteed that they'd miss the target.
Curvature of the Earth. A local landmark, the Humber Bridge. So [i]precisely[/i] engineered is it, that the main supports are one inch [i]wider[/i] at the top than at the base of such, [b]to take into account the [i]curvature[/i] of the Earth.[/b]
Those US Army/Marines M-777 Howitzer crews. Using military science. Question: who is wrong: the US armed forces/Pentagon (and thus the US DoD as a whole), or God...!?
You know the only possible answer to that question. Any other answer - 'Interpretation' or any of that BS and/or 'Apologetics', re. the retardedness - certainly the mental inferiority of those 'inspired' then, to the educationally superior people today - and you admit that your 'God' is inferior to his 'creation', as we now know better than the supposedly 'Omniscient 'God' (we know more than him, - via Judges 1:19 - to render the 'Creator' to be inferior to the Creation: Iron Chariotsthen, said US Army's M1 Abrams Iron Chariots today: God-Killers).
After all, you lot have never been reduced to 'moving the goalposts' - 'Re-interpreting' - since that day in 1957, when Atheist Soviet science launched that Vostok-1 vehicle, sending up Sputnik-1, amirite?!
Because - according to the 'inspired', literal, with no 'Interpretation' allowed Bible - the Jim Carrey film "The Truman Show" must be a documentary, otherwise the Bible as a whole is therefore proven to be lies.
It certainly abswers that old philosophical question 'Did God create Man, or did Man create God?'. It's the latter. No God, thus no 'Afterlife', ergo no Hell.
That's your raison d'etre - and justification for your mentally handicapped need to 'Opinionate' here - destroyed, dearie...! Still not seeing any proof - and to the satisfaction of we Atheists - to the contrary. That which is asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.
Burden of proof. No evidencee, no acceptee. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (KJV): 'Prove all things'. The Bible destroys itself, as it offers no evidence to the satisfaction of we Atheists; anything you fundies can possibly say as 'Apologetics' is irrelevant, as that in itself isn't proof as the Bible itself orders itself to do. Therefore We Atheists are proven right all along. Anything you fundies say - i.e. 'You're going to HELL!' - the reverse is actually so. And the Bible - via Romans 11:26-32, especially 30-32 for we Atheists & LGBT people destroys even you fundies' right to so much as think that.
Even your 'trolling' technique is destroyed, dearie. By your own same 'beliefs', no less.
No 'Hell' for us. Your Bible says so; no 'Interpretation' allowed. But said Bible - Revelation 21:8, those two words - proves that YOU'LL be burning forever in that Lake O'Fire; 'OSAS' won't save you: Those two words in Rev. 21:8? 'ALL Liars'. You. Prove me wrong. >:D
