The Power of God, Explained.

Ark of the Covenant is Ancient Electrical Power Generator, claim researchers

London, England -- Fortean Times magazine, the leading journal of strange phenomena, reveals for the first time in 3,000 years the truth behind the Bible's mysterious Ark of the Covenant. In this exclusive article, Michael Blackburn and Mark Bennett use the bible itself as a research source and cleverly decode the design of the Ark of the Covenant, revealing that it was an ancient form of the modern electrical device called a capacitor, capable of storing vast amounts of potentially deadly electricity. This technology has been a staple of modern science since the 18th century, but the author's analysis and explanation of this extraordinary piece of apparatus shows that knowledge of electricity was being used 3,000 years ago to create a 'shock and awe' style demonstration of the power of God. 'Re-engineering the Ark' is the first serious documentation upon the subject and explains just how it really is possible to catch the power of God in a jar, and demonstrates how we might be able to rebuild the Ark today. Article Overview: 'Re-engineering the Ark' is an in-depth and comprehensive study of the Ark of the Covenant, in both an academic/scientific sense and also from a metaphorical angle, which looks at the implications of the concept of the Ark in relation to religion and mankind's own evolution as a species. As such, further information on 'Re-engineering the Ark' may be obtained in differing formats, i.e. as a solely scientific piece, as a fully comprehensive and complete study, or even as a condensed and simplified 'pop science' synopsis.

Articles Key Points:

- The Ark of the Covenant was made by man for a specific purpose
- it is part of a much, much larger machine
- it did not contain the power of God but naturally occurring electricity
- it is possible to re-build the Ark using Old Testament information
- the technology of the Ark is now a staple of modern electronics
- implications of findings are more controversial than the Da Vinci Code

Hrm. This article implies that the Ark was constructed by ancient church leaders to mislead followers, doesn't it? I suppose it could be true. There are enough faith healers out there doing that every Sunday on television. You might have seen them; the ones that bellow benedictions and prayers, smack some 'blind' or otherwise ailing person on the head and they are healed. (It's a MIRACLE! Send them money!) However this article's claims have much, much greater ramifications. Those fake healers are somewhat of a joke, and people accept they are doing what they are doing with the proverbial grain of salt. But the fabled Ark of the Covenant, known to so many as The One True God's ultimate proof of power...reduced to some kind of pre-BC magic trick? I'm not sure I am ready to put any more stock into this article than any athiest's research & writing. I mean, Mike Blackburn has been a writer, researcher & historian for the past 20 years...should that be enough to discredit thousands of years of worldwide faith in God? I'm inclined to believe that a person is most likely to find what they want or expect to find when researching such vague criteria. A man of faith might have completely different findings. What do you think?
