Jerusalem – Israel’s Antiquities Authority says archeologists have unearthed two 9,500-year-old figurines near Jerusalem that help shed light on religion and society during the stone age.

It says archaeologists unearthed the two rare figurines last week in Tel Motza between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv during a dig ahead of the expansion of a major highway in the area.
One of the objects is shaped like a ram and made of limestone. The other depicts an ox and is made of dolomite. Both are 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) long.
The statement Wednesday said the figurines could have been either good luck hunting icons or a representation of the animal’s domestication.
9500 years old? That’s kefire in trash hshem
kefira
The world isn’t 9,500 years old
Amazing find. These objects were made three thousand seven hundred and twenty eight years before the Briyas Ha’Olam. Unless they were made later and were Chall Le’mafrei’a.
How can it be 9,500 years old when the world is only 5766 can someone explain it to me is the toreh wrong?
wow amazing++++ before the mabel,and brias haolom
How can these objects be older than the world,
when the world is only almost 5773 years old?
1,2,3,4,5,
The Rambam writes in the hakdamah to Moreh Nevuchim that only stupid people believe Sefer Bereishis to be literal.
The medrash in Tanna d’Bei Eliyahu says that there were 974 generations before Adam.
There are many sifrei
the math on calculating how old something is has been proven wrong many times, 9500 years? maybe 19800 years?
how could VIN post that? its kfiradik.
Interesting that they always find object which are either less then 10,000 years old, or million of years old. I wonder why they never find anything in between.
The answer is if the world would be as old as they believe and it would leave for every year one single object, then we would see billions and billions of objects.
Obviously, they don’t make any sense.
This is really a mistake, to post open KEFIRA like that?!
Or perhaps the Radiocarbon dating which is used to “date” antiques is not actually correct. How can they its 9,500 years old – why not 9,000, or 10,000,or perhaps 3,500? Because they use the assumption that Carbon-14 half life has remained the same constant since… forever, when in reality it changes based on local and world events. Plus calibration procedures are complex and periodically revised as new information comes to light, skewing the radiocarbon dating accuracy. Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years, and the radiocarbon “dates” increasingly diverge from known established world events back beyond about 400 BCE.
For those worried about Kefirah. Question. If a dentist would examine Adam Harishon’s teeth – how old would he say Adam’s teeth were? Not one day younger than 40 Years old. How old something has nothing to do with when something was created. Not sure why its Kefirah. The object is presenting its self as 9500 year old and it probably is and It could have only been created yesterday.
We all learned in yeshivah that g-d performs his miracles through nature, as to not be so obvious. So isn’t it possible that he created the univerese 6 billion years ago, through this big bang, from which all of space and time emerged?
Which tenet of faith is violated by believing the Earth to be older than 6000 years?
1. Maybe when Hashem created the world he put in things that were that old. (e.g. big trees etc.)
2. The Medrash says that the MABUL aged the world.
If you start throwing medrashim in here – there is also the medrash that there were 6(?) worlds created & destroyed before this one. Maybe the artifacts found were from a previous “incarnation” of the world as we know it.
There’s a very powerful video that’s going viral by Bill Nye, the legendary science educator. Here’s what he says:
“I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that’s completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that’s fine, but don’t make your kids do it, because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need people that can — we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems.”
People fear admitting that there is a god as that would mean punishment for sins.
Moshe emes v’torahsoi emes, means that what is written is 100% tru and its not up for argument regardless what a scientist told you.
The torah, the same book that told us to circumcise our boys 1000’s of years ago, something that now the goyishe velt does for health reasons, the torah that have us kashrush that when followed even if you eat junk the body is better designed to accept it hence you see WWII survivors living till 90+
The same torah that told us so many things that we know is amazing and brilliant told us the story of creation, why doubt it? Who cares what some scientists said?
You talk about educating yourself, well how about reading up about all the amazing theories that they came up with in the past 50 years that turned out to be nonsense?
The big bang theory falls apart the minute you ask them, and what caused the big bang? They reply with the hadron colider BS and that soon we will know (so far they spent over 10 billion searching for the so called HB aka god particle).
I do follow this stuff, I do research this stuff, and the torahs version is emes!
Sarak. I believe in Torah miSinai and yet I accept that the universe is 14 billion years old. Why don’t you educate yourself from Torah sources? It is absolute Kefira to believe that Hashem has hands or a body. Yet it says these words in the Torah!!! Obviously not everything is literal. Read Rambam, Rav Shimshon Raphel Hirsh, Reshonim… Your literal take on berashis is only shared by 1st graders.
kashrus is a chok. Show me where it says we keep it for health benefits. We keep it because Hashem told us to. Don’t be an idiot. Go eat cholent Thursday, Friday and Shabbas and enjoy diabetes, dialysis, and heart disease.
How does not knowing WHY something happened disprove it?
As for your rant about the hadron collier, I’m very proud of you that you were able to skim a science article and pick out the words Higgs bison and G-d particle.
If you really think that all scientists are so stupid, please stop going to your physican. Stop taking Kefira drugs when you get sick. Please stop going online.
May I please explain, the Torah is without any doubt emes on creation and so are these academics.
Simply put, without any fancy math, When sefer Beraishis speaks about yom echad, Einstein has taught us that the passage and recording of time is dependent on the position of the observer. From the vantage point of Hashem (so to speak) at the epicenter of the universe where the big bang occured, what was yom echad, from our perspective now somewhere on the outskirts of the big bang much more time elapsed. Simply put sefer Beraishis marks the passage of time from the place of creation whereas we mark the passage of time from our vantage point. Its elegant and ultimately very simple to grasp. Sefer Beraishis understood the and reported the physics correctly long before Einstein did.
Shame on you VIN for posting this kefire news! shame on you!
