World's Oldest Bible Going Online
99luftballon writes "The British Museum is putting online the remaining fragments of the world's oldest Bible. The Codex Sinaiticus dates to the fourth century BCE and was discovered in the 19th century. Very few people have seen it due to its fragile state — that and the fact that parts of it are in collections scattered across the globe. It'll give scholars and those interested their first chance to take a look. However, I've got a feeling that some people won't be happy to see it online, since it makes no mention of the resurrection, which is a central part of Christian belief."On Thursday the Book of Psalms and the Gospel According to Mark will go live at the Codex Sinaiticus site. The plan is to have all the material up, with translations and commentaries, a year from now.

First comment on the oldest bible. Now that's something !
The Wise adapts himself to the world. The Fool adapts the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the Fool.
Well, I'll assume that the trolls won't actually READ the Bible, but they might read this Cliff's Notes version: Don't Know Much About The Bible
aw... come on guys, laugh at this!
- Moving pairs
Given something like a checkers board, moving pairs would be checker pieces
paired together and arranged on the board so they each checker piece is said to be paired with another.
The pairs don't have to be next to eachother, they can arrange on the board in any awy.
Any way arranged is fair for how this works, but it matters for how they work.
There's no such thing as an empty space among pairs for how you consider them together.
They are the idea of how they move, and the problem with finding how
to move them, and how they work being together.
- Moving a pair
Pick a pair to move.
Each of the pair is to move together at the same time.
A pair together can only move to another pair together.
A pair moves to another pair, and each of the pair becomes paired with
each of the other pair. So now both pairs are new pairs, with the
pair that moved to another pair not being a pair anymore, both of the
pair to move
becomes a new pair with the pair that has to move for where they move to.
A pair moves to another pair, but the other pair is what moves away at
the same time.
A pair moves to another pair, the pair it moves to has to move at the
same time to another pair. So when moving a pair to another pair, that
pair has to move too.
So the pair to move to another pair becomes a new pair, each of the
pair to move to another pair
becomes part of a new pair with the pair that they move to. The pair
they move to is the pair to move to another pair at the same time.
You can't know what any pair's first move is until you know it's last move.
There's nowhere to think in the way moving pairs can move how it has
any inbetween to stop moving. It's always that a pair moving is making
another pair move, and is having a pair move it.
For any pair there's always one way to move it.
To think of pairs in the middle of moving is to think of needing to
know the end and beginning at the same time. Because a pair is
moving when a pair moved it, and is moving another pair where it's going.
But it's going where a pair can move to another pair, and coming from having a pair move it.
So a pair to move is moving where it can go, where another pair can move from, where it gets to there being
a pair that can move to where the first pair left.
When a pair moves it's what is moving away from what had to move it,
and is moving what needs to move at the same time for where it's going.
Each time a pair is moved, all the pairs involved in moving are
alternated as pairs. So a pair when moved makes all pairs that have to move at the same
time paired another way.
You can't know how a pair moves, it's to figure out as the problem
they have. The last pair to move has to be figured before the first
pair to move has a place to move.
All the pairs have a way to move, but may involve more or less of the
other pairs to move at the same time.
So a pair can be moved, but it's to figure out how to make it move.
So....
|55|66|55|
|44|44|66|
Move pair 44 44. Choice is either 66 66 or 55 55.
44 44 can move to 55 55, only if 55 55 can move to 66 66, and 66 66 can move where 44 44 is to start.
so try... 44 44 moves to 55 55. and now each 44 and 55 are a new pair. at the same time 55 55 moved to 66 66, so where 66 and 66 is at there's one of the new pair from
44 44 and 55 55. and at the same time can 66 66 move to 44 44 ?
So to know the first move is to know the last move, because the first move is where it works around to the last move, and the last pair to make is what can go where the first pair left.
- Moving pairs are a machine
They can be arranged in any way so that the way to move a pair is to have to move others too. So between all pairs they have an
arrangement strategy that carries a way to work at being rearranged. A way where to work at being rearranged is to be able to
rearrange in any other way
Possibly a bit off-topic, but, FWIW, there's this prophet guy, Nephi, in the Book of Mormon, that records a vision of the primary events of the New Testament in what would be the early 5th century BC.
FWIW, I believe it.
Computer memory is just fancy paper, CPUs just fancy pens with fancy erasers; the 'net is just a fancy backyard fence.
WTF?!? Sorry, I don't have time to even start replying to this drivel.
Maybe I will this evening when I get home if I can be bothered picking through the blatant holes in the arguments.

So how did the creation story (both of them) come to be in it, because if God actually told someone then that would also be in the Bible too. No?
NT= No Thanks?
This is the sig that says NI (again)
