Hi all,

I am starting a series on Biblical speculations using images. The purpose of which is to use images to deepen our understandings in interpreting passages in the Bible challenging concepts and prejudices. Pictures tell a thousand words and therefore will make a better impact without need for lengthy wordings. They are all my speculations based on my interpretation of the Bible. I always believe God is a super intelligent force which can manifest itself in many ways even as an entity and leave its intelligence behind which we call intelligent designs in all its creations. And man are learning all His intelligence in creations which we call science. Jesus being the Son of God was a super intelligent force in the form of a human being. And being the Son of God, His knowledge was far superior than ours. God to me is not a man-made concept from primitive bronze age men as some people would like us to believe. The ancient authors who wrote the books of the Bible were using their best knowledge and vocabulary of their times to describe things past or future that they saw or heard and we need to try to interpret what they probably meant.

There is nothing wrong with speculations, we all speculate all the time.... the weather, stocks, politics, World Cup winners etc. Hypothesis and theories are in fact speculations and from the hypothesis came theories then facts. i apologize for not being able to organize the topics sequentially due to time constraints but with more time, i should be able to organize better. Note: i am not trying to narrate biblical stories or books using images or comics but to present my biblical interpretations better using pictures. I will start with the first book i.e. Genesis:


The first light - the Big Bang?....let there be light (Genesis 1:3)

Good work... a couple of minor flaws:

The sons of God (Genesis 6:1) were most likely fallen angels (per Job 1:6, 2:1,etc...)

The naming of Peleg relates to the division of languages at the Tower of Babel, rather than the division of continents. The continental division most likely happened during the Genesis 7-8 flood.
