After the Ken Ham vs Bill Nye debate, Pat Robertson told creationist Ken Ham to shut up: ‘Let’s not make a joke of ourselves’. He went on to try to marry his form of “faith” with “science’s” interpretation of geology and paleontology. Robertson has clearly rejected the Biblical account of Creation.
After listening to his unbelievable rant against Ken Ham, the idea occurred to me, If we were to errantly follow the Pat Robertsons of “ Christianity”, what would our Bible look like to reflect our altered beliefs? So I did a quick search of Bible texts which we would have to remove in order to capitulate to the Atheist’s attack on our faith.
There are 303 verses with clear references indicating the biblical view of earth’s beginning; 242 in the OT and 61 in the NT. These would have to be eradicated in order to fall in line with “Science’s” interpretation of man’s present knowledge of our beginnings.
With those 303 verses removed, we would have a bible that the evolutionist would agree with right? (List compiler David E. Pratte)
No!
The books that contain these verses were written with a view of creation in mind. They are therefore suspect as well. In order to fully comply, we must also write the entirety of these suspect books out of the Biblical Record. What will that look like?
Out of the 66 books of the Bible, 20 OT books and 15 NT books will have to be removed in order to comply with the new Pat Robertson Christian World View.
A list of such books needing to be done away with are as follows. I hope none of them contain your favorite verse or verses.

Here is your new, More Congruent With Modern Knowledge, Bible. Yeah!!! For those among us who lack the desire to read, It is now, OT and NT combined, only 35 books long! A much quicker read with a much easier to manage god. After all, this god, is fictional. His fiction is easy to prove as that nasty little creation power thingy is out of the way! He is now on the same level as all the other god stories. Since he didn’t create us, he is just a brute using superior power to play with us like toys. Hmmm. Sounds like a Star Trek or Star Gate episode.
Books that contain no clear references to Creation are as follows.

1. Leviticus 2. Joshua 3. Judges 4. Ruth 5. 2 Samuel 6. 1 Kings 7. Ezra 8. Esther 9. Song of Solomon 10. Lamentations 11. Ezekiel 12. Daniel 13. Joel 14. Obadiah 15. Micah 16. Nahum 17. Habakkuk 18. Zephaniah 19. Haggai |

But wait!!!
Some of the books in the “Newly More Congruent With Modern Knowledge Bible have authors from the obviously tainted books that were previously removed. Aww Man… We need to go through a second round of cleansing. We wouldn’t want to give validity to any of those other books by leaving a book in our NMCWMK Bible with such authorship. Here we go again.
Here is a list of books whose author’s may have not been tainted by creation world view.
OT |
NT |
1. Joshua 2. Judges 3. Ruth 4. Ezra 5. Esther 6. Ezekiel 7. Daniel 8. Joel 9. Obadiah 10. Micah 11. Nahum 12. Habakkuk 13. Zephaniah 14. Haggai |
1. Jude |
Now, that is better. I think we are getting somewhere. Our 2nd edition of the NMCWMK Bible is a thin collection of 15 creation purified books. That leaves us with a lot more room on our book shelf for those ever changing “Science” textbooks. Can’t wait to see what is going to change next!
WAIT A MINUTE!!!
The philosophy of a almighty powerful being that can tell the future, judge, tame lions, write on walls with a disembodied hand, make men like beasts only to bring them back to their senses. A God that goes before and fights for his people. He even has used women to save his “chosen” nation. That idea of one people being chosen over another; that just can’t be good.
I just can’t imagine how any of this can be good. The rest is also offensive to the sensibilities of our Newly More Congruent With Modern Knowledge World View. O well, chuck the whole thing. Who needs it. We are better off. We can determine what is to be right and wrong. How could it be wrong if all the Scientist’s Agree?
Jer 7:24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
To demystify the word “science” it simply means, "what is known, knowledge”. Sadly, modern “Scientists” conflate it with theory. Knowledge is not theory and theory is not knowledge. Theories change. Absolute knowledge does not. The 1st and 2nd Laws of thermodynamics are an example of knowledge.
"Science, since people must do it, is a socially embedded activity. It progresses by hunch, vision, and intuition. Much of its change through time does not record a closer approach to absolute truth, but the alteration of cultural contexts that influence it so strongly. Facts are not pure and unsullied bits of information; culture also influences what we see and how we see it. Theories, moreover, are not inexorable inductions from facts. The most creative theories are often imaginative visions imposed upon facts; the source of imagination is also strongly cultural." [Stephen Jay Gould, introduction to "The Mismeasure of Man," 1981]
The following are examples of applying “scientific theory" to society. Great results, when we leave God’s Word out of our processes, eh? This is moral relativism at work. Whoever has the power to say what is moral is the standard bearer and therefore above the Law.
Euthanasia
Eugenics
Force Sterilisations
Cloning
Genocide
Abortion of the "Imperfect"
Eugenics Axioms in Cloning
Guilty until Proven innocent via Pre-Crime Analysis
The list goes on and on…
Man's imagination is the only impedement to a morally realtive society. That is not a good thing!
P.S. For those who may have misunderstood what I have written. I do not espouse taking God's Word apart. This is satirical irony. God’s Word is one word. If you delete one letter, you have destroyed the integrity of that Word. It is then no longer God’s Word. There is a great warning,”
Re 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
