Yes Tunica, the concept of the Sacred Written Word of God or "Sruti", in Sanskrit, goes back far. In the Hindu Vedas The Oldest and most sacred Written volumes of man ever recorded around 3,500 BCE (before Christian Era) this is the beginning... as far as we know of written sacred scriptures go. One of the VEDAs , dwarfs the christian bible, for subtlety, insight, reverance for things spiritual, and paths and hyms to God.
very pale by comparison, but i do not mean to demean the christian/Catholic view that god's hand only wrote the bible...
just that it wasn't a new concept. was done 3.5 thousand years
before the birth of christianity...and done extremely well, and exquisitlely
They , the Hindus, handed the catholics their religion on a platter.
God has been alive and at work for much longer than yoU give him
credit for.
that's what you call=Evolution
