Do you think you’d get a better report on the Civil War from a modern historian or by spending some time with Abraham Lincoln? Do you think you could get a better picture of what the Apollo 11 moon landing was like by checking out the NASA website or by sitting down with Neil Armstrong and having him tell you the story about when he took that small step/giant leap?
Obviously, if it were possible to talk to the people who had been a part of events in the past, you’d get some amazing stories about those events. You could get a feeling for what it was like by talking to the people who were there when it happened.
Did your parents ever tell you about when you were born? Did your grandparents ever tell you about what it was like to live through the Great Depression or to watch the Apollo Moon Landing on live TV? Wasn’t it cool to hear those stories from the people who’d seen it happen?
So along those same lines, would it be better to learn about the history of the world from somebody who was never there but had made a guess about what might have happened as the world started or from Someone who was there, Someone who actually built the Earth, Someone who designed the universe as a star spangled backdrop for His favorite creation to enjoy when the sun went down?
