Introduction

I finished my senior year several months earlier than projected, but a technicality required me to continue to go to school everyday. In order to keep me occupied, my teachers would occasionally give me a writing topic or just let me come up with one. The following essay is one example of the latter, and its one I've looked into rather often over the years since I first ran across the idea in the short book Scientific Facts In The Bible: 100 Reasons To Believe The Bible Is Supernatural In Origin. I've rewritten it quite a few times, and this latest version was used in my college English course.
