Hi everyone. I'm a new member and I don't know if this is the right place to post about this. I've just started reading the Bible and finished Genesis and Exodus. I'm reading it in Spanish, so sorry if places, concepts or names are translated wrong to English.

Recently I have been thinking about scripture an awful lot as I have been going through various Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh scriptures. I thought it might be interesting to discuss the view I have come to embrace and see if you guys had any interesting thoughts or responses.

This video popped randomly into my Youtube feed and I thought some of you people here on RF would be interested in the subject. The thread title says it all, really; the video sadly isn't that long, but I find the images and animations really fascinating nevertheless.
