A Scientific Reaction ( Biblical - Archeological - Literal - Historical 9 )
(2) The claims of the different literal style :- The modern science have developed the statical measurements, in order to be able to help the scientists ,by giving them , a definite probabilities , to test it ,due to its actually occurrence, in the fact real present order , to reach to many results, in their scientific research . We must observe that, the statical methods, has given us a probabilities, not the results , probabilities to study it, not to find a definite positive or negative conclusion . For example, if you analyse my Message when I was angry, you may conclude that,I have used some expression ,from the vocabulary ,different than the expressions of some other people else, it may reflect my personality,or my literal style,but it also may not reflect it , perhaps I was under the influence ,of some variable expression,which was used by the media ,at the moment of my writing, or perhaps it was a unique accident, that it has been occurred to me, and can not be occurred again ,also perhaps it is my real habitual style , therefor if any other analytical study, found another Message used these expressions, it will reach to a probability ,that may be that,the later Message is mine,because it used my expressions ,or my style of writing . Observe that I said MAY BE ,because the verbal analytical studies , has given us probabilities, not results,but it alert us, to study this probability,in order to find, if it was positive or negative, as it is a just probability only . But what the Critics have done is, to jump over their research's responsibilities, to record the probability ,as if it was a result or conclusion . This kind of scientific methods, is not able to measure and control the human literature, without any limits, but it is only a helper method . What about the Divine literature? Can this kind of the indefinite measure valued it ? "W.J Martin" in his book "Stylistic Criteria"1955,.rejected the way which the critics was using, to deal with the Holy Bible because :- (1)The Holy Bible is not a normal book of literature, to measure it by some indefinite, or definite measures of the human literature . (2)All these measures are variable ,the measures of the modern literature, can not measure the old literature,the eastern literature measures can not measure the western literature.....etc, and follows Rev. Joseph
