DAY 17 (Genesis 18-20): After meeting with Hagar and then Abraham, the Angel of Yahweh leaves and then returns with two other men of His own kind, and Abraham invites Yahweh and His two companions to stay with him and enjoy a meal together. We then learn about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, a story both incredible and bizarre, but which warns us of God's wrath against sinners.

The population of planet Earth is 33% Christian. It's 24% Muslim, and the Qur'an does acknowledge the Bible as Holy Scripture. Between these two faiths, that's over half of Earth's population. If I was an alien coming to this planet for the first time, and I wanted to play a game of "Take Me To Your Leader," it wouldn't take long before I found this book in my hands. If I want to understand this planet, planet Earth, I need to know what's in this text. To ignore it, or to dismiss it casually, is to cast aside the very underpinnings of western civilization, which is the dominant culture of this planet. I mean, aren't you at least curious about what it actually says? I know I am.
