The battle concerning our origins rages on. Skeptics and promulgators of evolution are ever lifting their forceful and uncompromising voices against intelligent design with increasing intensity. Yet with all the hoopla, many still remain unconvinced that the beauty and genius that we see all around is the result of chance. They see in nature the handy work of a designer of titanic intellect. Many of us (a few billion) who share this world view have found in the Bible a sensible and reliable account of the origins of the human race and the races’ interaction with this great Designer. But few who share this world view have any idea of what the chronological and historical landscape since Adam (the first human to live) actually looks like according to the Bible.
My buddy from college, Dustin, has created an elegantly designed Flash application that visually depicts the life spans of Old Testament characters on a virtual timeline that begins at the year zero with Adam, and ends with Jesus.
One of my favorite features of this app is the ability to copy a snippet of the timeline and embed into your website or blog like a Youtube video (as I have done above). When selecting an area that you want embed from the timeline the app lets you choose and in and out point, and when the timeline loads into your website it will animate from that start point to the out point that you have set. Another cool aspect of this application is that it is tied to a blog where select users have entered their thoughts and observations relevant to the timeline and the characters therein. When you click on name in the timeline a window appears that lets you see all of the posts relevant to that person.
Now enough of all this talk. Go see it for yourself at once: http://sinceadam.com
