Engineering and Scripture

The Bible has provided opportunities for deliberation of scholars from numerous fields. Solomon’s Temple, The Ark, the pool of Bethesda, Jericho, Meggifo and innumerable sites provide engineers and archeologists challenges to investigate and corroborate scripture that is the source of Christian theology. One may use astronomy and physics to consider sundry solar and seller phemona, marine biology and history to consider paradigms of Jonah being swallowed by a whale  or fish and living three days in it before the creature puked him upon a beach, etc. Yet futurist engineers might consider what a Multiverse would be like structured within the mind of an omniscient, Omnipotent eternal God who has created all such components before local time within them.

Structural engineering can replicate with models numerous ancient structures that no longer exist. The first tower in human history was built, I believe, in Jericho about 9000 BC. Its purpose isn’t clear yet it could have been a pulpit for a descendent of Noah to tell people about God and to help them with agriculture community coordination. Engineers can even research prehistory and that information is useful for interpretation of Scripture and understanding ancient times better.
