DG00 The Discovery of Genesis

The book The Discovery of Genesis explores the theory that ancient Chinese ideographic characters contain hidden references to the biblical creation story. Authors C.H. Kang and Ethel R. Nelson argue that by deconstructing specific symbols into their original radicals, one can find parallels to narratives like the Garden of Eden, the Fall of Man, and Noah’s Flood. They suggest that the earliest Chinese people were monotheistic worshippers of a Supreme Heavenly Ruler whose history was embedded in their written language. This study aims to provide a theological bridge between Eastern culture and Western scripture by analyzing the visual components of words like "create" and "boat." Ultimately, the sources present a detailed investigation into how linguistic history might serve as evidence for the global reach of Genesis accounts.

The video will highlight specific examples from the introduction, such as how the character for "boat" (船) is constructed from the symbols for "vessel," "eight," and "mouth," reflecting the eight people aboard Noah’s Ark. It will also examine the character for "to create" (造), which is composed of the radicals for "dust," "mouth," and "life".
