The False Testament presents the idea that the Bible’s depiction of the past is inaccurate and claims that it is completely false. The False Testament begins by explaining the process of science emerging from religious studies. Science was first used to find “proof” in order to back up the Bible’s tale of creation. The problem that occurred was when evidence was found that exposed a different story besides what the Bible has presented human kind with. These inconsistencies were, at first, disregarded and throw to the side in search of evidence that would support the faith that was followed.
As science has evolved and scientists actually want to discover the past, the true past, many inconsistencies regarding the timeline of the Bible have been exposed. Scientists have done research during the time of King David and King Solomon and are unable to provide proof of any such existence. The closest thing that was discovered was a piece of old material with writing on it saying something about the linage of a man named David. This cannot be considered proof of King David’s existence or even bloodline because the name could belong to anyone. The Bible talks about King Solomon having possessions that are numbered in the hundreds and having built many buildings with unlimited amounts of gold and grandeur. The only problem with this record, is that there simply is no proof of any such items anywhere near where King Solomon was have said to have lived.
Another inconsistency is the claim that the Israelites have against the land they claim as belonging to them. In the Bible the Israelites are described as trespassers or foreigners in this land and through war took over the land which should belong to them because of this simple fact. The research that has been done pieces together a different story. The archeologists and anthropologists have learned that the people that inhabited this land were indigenous people. That no-one came and claimed the land, the research shows that the people that originated started and ended there. Researchers have tried to make sense of the story that the Bible presents regarding the claim of the Holy Land. The only idea that seems to have stuck is that throughout history in order to have a valid land claim the land had to be taken through a war or was lost in a war. This could explain why the Israelites created a story that would prevent the loss of their Holy Land or Home Land.
It is difficult to comprehend why if the Bible was just a creation of someone’s imagination why it would be created. The False Testament explains that whoever the creator of the Bible was may have been trying to preserve the future of the Holy Land and create a future of a religion or political agenda. There is no other logical explanation for why such an elaborate story would be created. Then as many religious followers would argue, because the story was not made up, the Bible was created by the workings of God.
