Q2: Criticism of the Bible
Common points of criticism against the Bible are the Genesis
creation narrative
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_creation_narrative>, Genesis flood
myth <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_flood_myth>, and the Tower of
Babel <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel>. According to young
Earth creationism <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Earth_creationism>, flat
earth theory <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_earth_theory>, and
geo-centrism <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentrism>, which all
take a literal
view <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_literalism> of the book of
Genesis, the universe and all forms of life on Earth were created directly
by God roughly 6,000 years ago, a global flood killed almost all life on
Earth, and the diversity of languages originated from God confusing his
people, who were in the process of constructing a large tower. These
assertions, however, are contradicted by both the natural
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_science> and social sciences
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_sciences>.
For instance, cosmological evidence suggests that the universe is
approximately 13.8 billion years old
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_universe> Analyses of the geological
time scale <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_time_scale> date the
Earth to be 4.5 billion years old. Developments in astronomical sciences
show the Solar System formed in a protoplanetary disk
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebular_hypothesis> roughly 4.6 billion
years ago. Physics and cosmology show that the Universe expanded, at a
rapid rate, from quantum fluctuations
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_fluctuations> in a process known as
the Big Bang <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang>; contemporary
research and models postulate that the universe may even be infinite in
terms of size <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_inflation> and age
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_model>. Research within biology,
chemistry, physics, astronomy, and geology has provided sufficient evidence
to show life originated over 4 billion years ago through chemical processes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis>. Countless fossils present
throughout the fossil record <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_record>,
as well as research in molecular biology, genetics, anatomy, physiology,
zoology, and other life sciences show all living organisms evolved over
billions of years <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution> and share a common
ancestry <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ancestry>.
Archaeological excavations have expanded human history, with material
evidence of ancient cultures older than 6,000 years old
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistory>. Moreover, 10,000 years is not
enough time to account for the current amount of genetic variation
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_variation> in humans
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution>. If all humans were
descended from two individuals
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_and_Eve> that
lived less than 10,000 years ago, it would require an impossibly high rate
of mutation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation> to reach humanity's
current level of genetic diversity
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_diversity>
The argument that the literal story of Genesis can qualify as science
collapses on three major grounds: the creationists' need to invoke miracles
in order to compress the events of the earth's history into the biblical
span of a few thousand years; their unwillingness to abandon claims clearly
disproved, including the assertion that all fossils are products of Noah's
flood; and their reliance upon distortion, misquote, half-quote, and
citation out of context to characterize the ideas of their opponents.
According to one of the world's leading biblical archaeologists, William G.
Dever <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_G._Dever>,
Archaeology certainly doesn't prove literal readings of the Bible...It
calls them into question, and that's what bothers some people. Most people
really think that archaeology is out there to prove the Bible. No
archaeologist thinks so. ... From the beginnings of what we call biblical
archaeology, perhaps 150 years ago, scholars, mostly western scholars, have
attempted to use archaeological data to prove the Bible. And for a long
time it was thought to work. William Albright
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_F._Albright>, the great father of
our discipline, often spoke of the "archaeological revolution." Well, the
revolution has come but not in the way that Albright thought. The truth of
the matter today is that archaeology raises more questions about the
historicity of the Hebrew Bible and even the New Testament than it provides
answers, and that's very disturbing to some people
Dever also wrote:
Archaeology as it is practiced today must be able to challenge, as well as
confirm, the Bible stories. Some things described there really did happen,
but others did not. The biblical narratives about Abraham
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham>, Moses
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses>, Joshua
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua> and Solomon
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon> probably reflect some historical
memories of people and places, but the 'larger than life' portraits of the
Bible are unrealistic and contradicted by the archaeological evidence....
I am not reading the Bible as Scripture… I am in fact not even a theist. My
view all along—and especially in the recent books—is first that the
biblical narratives are indeed 'stories', often fictional and almost always
propagandistic, but that here and there they contain some valid historical
information...
According to Dever, the scholarly consensus is that the figure of Moses is
legendary <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend>, and not historical
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity>. However, he states that a
"Moses-like figure" may have existed somewhere in the southern Transjordan
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transjordan_(Bible)> in the mid-13th century
BC.
Tel Aviv University <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tel_Aviv_University>
archaeologist Ze'ev Herzog
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ze%27ev_Herzog> wrote
in the *Haaretz <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaretz>* newspaper:
This is what archaeologists have learned from their excavations in the Land
of Israel: the Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the
desert, did not conquer the land in a military campaign and did not pass it
on to the 12 tribes of Israel. Perhaps even harder to swallow is that the
united monarchy of David and Solomon, which is described by the Bible as a
regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom. And it will come as an
unpleasant shock to many that the God of Israel, YHWH, had a female consort
and that the early Israelite religion adopted monotheism only in the waning
period of the monarchy and not at Mount Sinai.
Israel Finkelstein <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Finkelstein> told *The
Jerusalem Post <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jerusalem_Post>* that
Jewish archaeologists have found no historical or archaeological evidence
to back the biblical narrative of the Exodus
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exodus>, the Jews' wandering in
Sinai or Joshua's
conquest of Canaan <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Joshua>. On the
alleged Temple of Solomon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Solomon>,
Finkelstein said that there is no archaeological evidence to prove it
really existed Professor Yoni Mizrahi, an independent archaeologist who has
worked with the International Atomic Energy Agency
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Energy_Agency>, agreed
with Finkelstein
Regarding the Exodus of Israelites from Egypt, Egyptian archaeologist Zahi
Hawass <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zahi_Hawass> said:
Really, it's a myth ... This is my career as an archaeologist. I should
tell them the truth. If the people are upset, that is not my problem.

Sagan speaks fun of and written against the Bible.
In this light we have to view the scriptures of the Vedas here
where Modern science inventions are spoken of. Here there is no temple or
enforcement of a religion to adopt by any force. There is no conversions.
Born are on the earth only as aa follower of the Vedic principles, subject
to their choosing any other as their path, provided , all shall terminate
only in one; so the pathways were many and latitudinal worships were not
barred but when the maturity strikes, the oneness of the bliss is attained.
There is no 7days and nights and a Noah’s arc. There is darkness and light
from the Brahman who is unseen and unknown and described only as a Manifest
who had and is manifesting the purusha and the Prakriti. There is no
beginning not any end; but a cyclic process of only recycling from one to
one ; Karma theory is the modern Chaos theory; Cause and effect is the
outcome of the actions from the day one till date and to the days to come.
Prime matter does not change but the matter that changed from the prime,
have modifications unlimited and back to the prime matter; as matter do
change the life is Maya; process of the yoga is mind control; as arising
out of the immortality occurred, so too the tending towards the mortality
to immortality is the ultimate. Modern vision of 13 billion years is
included in the manvantara calculation of 154 billion; many SUNs and time
taken to light reach earth, Planets and stars, abiding the nature with
respect by worshipping are all imbibed heartwoods the VAC has a force; the
varsha of the mass of earth were known; what else is better not than this?
Evolution written in the tit bits of Mr Gopalakrishnan as answered by the
ignorant with the functional knowhow is limited as a spectrum, of no
consequences. Evolution and involutions are well ascribed here. Science
was called vignana here and the truth was the meignana. KR IRS 151221
Q8 Who did not know about "Haridra' here?. Haridrā (हरेणु, “yellow”) is
a Sanskrit word translating to “turmeric”, a herb from the
Zingiberaceae (ginger) family of flowering plants, and is used throughout
Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā. It can also refer to
the powder made from the root. It is also known by the name Varavarṇinī in
Sanskrit, and as Haldī in Hindi. The official botanical name
is *Curcuma longa*.
The protean disease ‘Diabetes’ has an excellent and miraculous
history in its prevalence since the antiquity of human beings. The various
references reflect about the use of plants for prevention and treatment of
diabetes. The symptomatology of Diabetes mellitus is equivalent to
disease ‘Madhumeha’ as described in the Indian system of
Medicine-Ayurveda. Similarly different Vedas also gives some clue about
this disease
in different nomenclature also. Keeping view in mind of having a
miraculous inter-relation between the Vedas and Ayurveda since the both are
science and deals with the life of human beings also , the present study
attempts to rule out the utility of 3 medicinal plants e.g-. Emblica
officinalis (L), Curcuma longa (L) & Syzygium cumini(L) from the Vedic
era to Samhita (Ayurvedic text)era.
The word ‘Madhumeha’ is one type of vataja prameha among 20
types of prameha (pra+ meha). ‘Pra’ means excess in frequency &
quantity and ‘Meha’ means urination / watering which derives from the root
“miha sechane” by adding iyu (pratya) - Sabdakalpadruma. So
‘prameha’ denotes the meaning of excess urination in frequency & quantity.
The first and foremost Vedic references of meha found in yaksh
ma Nashana sukta of Rig Veda2 . The word ‘Madhumeha’ (madhu= honey+ meha)
derived from the root “manyante vishesanajayanti
yesh min”. Meha: Derivation 1. Mehayati chinchati mutra retamsi iti
mehaha.(Halayudha Kosha) 2. Mehayati mutrayati iti arthaha. 3 The
synonyms of madhu are *Kshudram,* Kusumasavam, Makaranda, Makshikam,
Jalam, Pusparaja, Kshiram etc. and thus the disease madhumeha
were expressed by other names instead of madhumeha in some vedic and
Ayurvedic literature, e.g- Kshaudrameha. So, Madhumeha is a
disease where excretion of urine having the same quality of Madhu in its
colour, test, smell & consistencyMadhavakara. On the other hand it
is a condition by name of Madhumeha while the afflicted individual passes
sweet urine and inhibits sweeteners in the sweet mucous, blood,
breathe etc. Sushruta narrated Kshaudrameha in place of Madhumeha.The
synonyms of Madhumeha in ancient classics are Ojameha (
Caraka), Kshudra Meha ( Sushruta), Pushpameha (Anjan Nidana) etc. The
evaluation of Madhumeha can be traced from Veda. In Atharva Veda
(2500 B.C) there is a description about ‘Ashrava’ meant for Mutratisara
i.e- excessive urination .
Caraka samhita: In Samhita period the dis ease Madhumeha
(Meha viz a viz Prameha) has been explained its Aetiology, Pathology,
Prodromal symptoms, clinical features, complications & therapeutic
procedure by Caraka.5 Sushruta Samhita: Sushruta noted the Madhumeha
as a transformed condition from prameha if one does not treat Madhumeha at
time6 . He described its treatment in Prameha Pidaka chapter
also7 . Description of Kshaudrameha instead of Madhumeha is also found in
this samhita8 . Vagabhatta Samhita (A.H): Bagbhatta described
the leading causes of Madhumeha in Vagabhata Samhita9 . Harita Samhita: Harita
described 13 types of prameha in different nomenclature
i.ePuyameha, Ghritameha with its causes. Kashyap Samhita: Kashyapa noted
the disease Prameha as Chirakari similar to syndrome of
Juvenile Diabetes mellitus in vedana adhyaya of Kashyap Samhita. Bhela
Samhita: Bhela described two types of prameha i.e- Swayan akrita
& Prakrita meha.
*Haridra: Earlier description of the curative properties of
medicinal plants was found in Rig veda ( 2500-1800B.C). *Atharva
veda mentioned about Haridra for controlling of Ashrav Lexicons of
Chakradutta & Vangasena (ancient treatise of Ayurveda) mentioned about
turmeric in Diabetes. Along with Haridra, Amalki is indicated as the
specific drug of choice for diabetes Vaabhatta. So many trial has been
found as significant in Alloxan induced diabetes. Nishakawathwadi Kwath,
Nisoseeradi Kwath, Pramehamihira Taila & Devadarva rista are very
effective in Diabetes of which Haridra is an Ingredient- Vedic preparation.
Sushruta mentioned that after proper sam sodhana the patient
should use swarasa of Amalki with Haridra powder and Madhu. Bagbhatta
explained 3 Kwatha yogas out of which Amalki is ingredient of
Patoladi yo gas. Along with Haridra, Amalki is indicated as the specific
drug of choice for diabetes. Amalki and Haridra were considered as
the best medicines for treating prameha in Astanga Hridaya while
describing about Agra Sangraha(group of best things) mentioned as Nisha
& Amalki. 13 Amalki is beneficial & effective in Prameha / madhumeha
mentioned in Ayu. Pharmacopeia, i.e. Bhavaprakash
nighantu Sarangadhar Samita. Jaman: Jaman found in the name of YAMANA /
YAMUN in Rig veda. Rig veda – Syzygium cumini (L)
considered forDiabetes – a Panacea. Very beneficial when it is mixed with
water. The Ayurveda & other traditional ap proaches had described
antidiabetic potentials in more than 800 plants in India subcontinent. The
plants commonly used by Tribes of Midnapur district are Banyan
tree, Curry leaves, Jaman seeds & leaves, bitter gourd & Gurmur. It
reduces blood sugar & is very good in control of Diabetes due to its
Glucosides, Jamboline & Ellagic acid. KR IRS 151221
