The Bible's Powerful Influence

One of the things that prompted me to look into the Bible world through the eyes of scientists, secular historians and others is the Bible's influence on people throughout the world as illustrated by a huge ice sculpture exhibition held in Lufbeck, Germany back in 2006 which had a dramatic Biblical theme illustrated by events and characters from both the Old and New Testaments (the Hebrew and Christian Greek Scriptures) of the Bible.

 
These included the various stages of earthly creation, Adam and Eve succumbing to temptation from the Serpent, and Noah watching a hippopotamus trying to push its mate through the narrow entrance to the Ark while a small mouse scampers between their feet into the safety of the Ark.

 
One sculptor or sculptors also created a replica of Moses holding onto the famous stone tablets. However this time the tablets contained not the Ten Commandments Moses brought down from the mountain but the Hebrew renditions of God's personal name: Yahweh or Jehovah as it is pronounced in English.
Other Bible scenes included David first defeating the Philistine giant Goliath with his slingshot and his seduction by Bathsheba as he secretly watches her bathing, as well as other Bible characters such as Jacob, Esau, and Joseph and the Egyptian Pharaoh – and of course the portrayal of Jesus' birth and the Last Supper.
Jana Kurbis and his artistic team created all of this from 350 tons of crystal clear ice blocks measuring 2 metres by 1 metre by 0.6 metres that they imported from Belgium. They transformed these blocks into the Biblical characters with chainsaws, chisels, toothbrushes, and other tools.

 
Whether they did all of this merely as an artistic exercise or whether they were inspired by their belief in the Bible I don't know for sure, but it was likely a combination of both because many persons in the world do still believe in the Bible as you will see if you continue with me through this blog of Bible Science Investigation.
