Imagine how your life would change if the universe had a Creator. If there was life after death. If all this pain and suffering was worth it in the end.
Most of us are familiar with the concept of the afterlife through the Christian Bible, a mysterious book at the bottom of Western civilization.
In its first chapter, the Bible provides us with a mysterious creation story that doesn't seem to reflect the history of our universe, and then proceeds to claim that Ancient Egypt suffered ten plagues in the Exodus, none of which is corroborated by the mainstream historical narrative.
For almost two centuries, Western scholars and theologians have tried their best to reconcile the Bible with science and history. Although there are clues that suggest the Bible might be literally true, the pieces of this puzzle haven't come together until recently.
Although it sounds preposterous, especially given the incredible discoveries of science, it turns out that there is more to this story than even the experts and scientists realize.
