Book of Eli

It's apparent you guys didn't watch the movie. Keep it that way. It's not worth the time.

I did watch the movie. Twice.

With all my posts in this thread and this forum over the years, how are you coming to think this?

Dr. Mr. War Wagon;

It is clear by your comments that my commentary on the historicity of the New Testament has deeply offended you and your sensibilities.

Nope. Non-believers GREATLY outnumber believers in the world; can't afford to be offended.



Simply noting, that you BEGIN with a flawed premises. Therefore, you WILL end up, with flawed results.

As to his ability to memorize the entire bible, I think there have been several people that did that in the past. I remember reading about it as a teenager.

I remember reading about the tooth fairy too. Who did it? Name please.

Blind faith.

Things can be lost in translation.

They are said to have memorized a significant amount but not the entire Bible word for word.

From his website:

Some admirers of Dr. Van Impe’s ability to quote 18,000 Bible verses, including virtually the entire New Testament, look upon this accomplishment as the result of a divine gift. “Not so,” the memory man replies.

Others think he has a photographic mind. “Wrong again,” he insists.

What then is the reason for this unusual feat? “Hard work,” he replies.

There are 31,102 verses in the Bible

I think it was a good movie.
Heck it had Denzel in it so I liked it.
That Denzel is one beautiful man, and I don't care know knows I said it.
