The Biblical Narrative 6 of 10

Returning to the question of what light human literary fiction-writing might add to the identification of the right narrative worldview for our modern world…a murder mystery novel has a precise arrangement of letters and words that is different from a western, a romance, or a spy-thriller novel.

A murder mystery like Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None…has a well-defined sequence of information specified to produce a singular function…and reveals the obvious presence of an intelligent designer…a human author.

A storyline that has God displacing our ways with His ways…is a singularly unique genre in the same way that a murder mystery novel is not a western or a romance or a spy-thriller book.

The main contention of this book…is that only God could and would create the narrative stories of faith…recorded in the letters and words in the languages of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic in the Bible…that arranges intelligently sequenced information in story-form to produce highly specified function and premeditated outcomes…similar to what we see in the DNA molecule.

The specified sequence of the letters A, G, C, and T that represent amino acids in the long-length DNA chain…are different for an elephant, lion, spider, rattlesnake, eagle, killer whale, and human…for examples.

Would human intelligent authors invent this concept of God displacing our ways…in the biblical narrative stories of faith?

The evidence from human literary history says no.

The creative brilliance of the information input into DNA to produce function…translates over into the imaginative origin of the biblical narrative stories of faith…if no secular human author has adopted this theme in their fiction and non-fiction stories.

The intelligent input of information into the life-script for Abraham…according to historical evidence…cannot be attributed to human invented fictional mythology…because this displacement element does not exist in literary history.

As the biblical narrative stories of faith fall within the past timing of human history…there are no discernable trial-tests…no trial-and-error, transitionally intermediate sampling of partially successful examples of a proto-Abraham, proto-Joseph, proto-Moses, or proto-David…to overcome the negative chance probability that the biblical narrative stories of faith would instantly “explode” onto the scene in their mature and fully developed state.

A classic quote by G. K. Chesterton fits here: that Christianity has not been “tried and found wanting” but “found difficult and never tried.”

The biblical narrative stories of faith are too complex…too difficult…and too unconventional…to simply fall into place through self-assembly…as a natural result of human invented fiction-writing…drawing from conventional experience.
