Part One

Proof of a divine Creator is not to be found in the Bible but compelling evidence is found in astronomy and in biology. Surprisingly, the real identity of Yahweh may be deduced from biblical texts. The most memorable figures from the Old Testament include Noah, Abraham, Moses and kings David & Solomon - one might expect these found international rec- ognition, with references to their exceptional feats in the his- torical record of surrounding adjacent cultures. But, only one of these heroes has been verified, one appears to be adopted from another culture, one surprises by his total invisibility and the youngest are acknowledged only by an isolated and obscure fragment.
