Man, you'd've thought (you know, given the all-knowing aspect of this thing and all) that its writers would've known something about more than what was just common knowledge at the time. Guess not. If only there was a lesson in there somewhere about this...

Level 65

Jan 18, 2019

The "writers" were inspired by God. They wrote what God gave them to write. Just because they wrote portions of the Bible, doesn't mean they are all-knowing. God is the only all-knowing being mentioned in the bible.

Level 76

Jan 29, 2019

No, in the beginning man created god and so the only knowledge that god had was what man gave to him.

That is why there is no foreknowledge in the bible and claims that there is are bogus

Level 66

Jun 2, 2020

Why didn't god tell them to put Darmstadtium in the bible then?

Level 47

Nov 10, 2020

Not sure if this is a joke or not, but Darmstadtium was founded in 1994, and the Bible was written long before then.

Level 56

Nov 27, 2020

I think its very clear that Sifhraven was joking, since Darmstadium is a very obscure element.

Level 83

Nice quiz! Though, I'd rather see "brimstone" with sulfur also accepted, instead of the other way around...

At this point I can't tell whether or not @JackintheBox is trolling on every quiz or if he just has no sense of humor.

Jun 2, 2020

Think outside of the table then, if you elements aren't in a box

Level 62

Apr 7, 2018

should be accepted latin names like cuprum, plumbum or symbols Cu, Pb etc.

Are you reading the Vulgate on Sundays or something? There have been a few changes since the Council of Trent you might want to catch up on.

Level 62

May 18, 2018

Excuse me mr. witty, why for example gold has a symbol Au? Becouse of "gold" or becouse of latin "Aurum"? Many of chemicans still use latin names. Imo although symbols should be accepted.

Level 76

Jun 14, 2019

So go and take the Latin version of the quiz

Level 77

Apr 6, 2020

Pretty difficult to do since there isn't a Latin JetPunk.

Level 85

Too bad there wasn't a character in the bible called Liam. Then we totally could have had another element with a line like this: "Verily, I am he. Liam, they call me."

Level 64

Apr 7, 2018

And if he was an element, it would be called Lium.

Level 34

I've seen Rutherfordium in there

You sure 'sulfur' is mentioned, rather than brimstone?

Two words for the same thing. Many modern bibles use "sulfur".

Pretty much. Well, most of it, anyway.

Level 83

Jul 31, 2022

I feel sorry for anyone who is so behind the times that they think pointing out the Bible is a work of fiction, something that has been well established for 2000 years now, is done to appear "edgy." (and then parrot some trendy, dareisay "edgy"-sounding, phrase to articulate this point of view)

"What can we do to appear hip to the kids today and sell them more 7-Up?"

"Why don't we quote David Hume? Tweens love David Hume!"

Level 65

Jul 31, 2022

Lol, don't cut yourself on that edge

Level 49

Jul 31, 2022

@kalbahamut, the Bible is historically accurate and even if you don't believe the doctrine or the prophecies, it is still mostly not a work of fiction.

Level 83

Aug 1, 2022

It is not. Try reading some book other than the Bible sometime, and you might know this. This observation was last edgy sometime around the late Bronze Age.

Carbon (coal, diamond) Exodus 28:18

I felt almost certain "quicksilver" got a mention somewhere in the Hebrew portion of the Bible, so I kept trying to input "mercury"... but nope, it was just my memory playing tricks on me. Must have been a different ancient text!

Level 75

Surely hydrogen was mentioned in the second book of Maccabes: "Verily, I say unto you, two hydrogen atoms met at the forum and one saith unto the other 'Hey, I think that I have lost an electron!' The other replieth 'Verily?' And the first respondeth 'Yea. I'm positive.'"

I think brimstone is mentioned. Is that why sulfur is on here, or does the word sulfur actually appear in the Bible?

Level 83

Jul 31, 2022

Many English translations say sulfur.

Level 79

Jul 31, 2022

It just depends on the translation. I grew up with the King James version, so "brimstone" is what comes to mind for me, but plenty of other versions use "sulfur," especially the more modern ones.
