According to whom?
Test it yourself scientifically.

Isolate just ten men (not forty-plus), put them in a room (not three continents), give them a subject to write about, and have each write their own chapter (not sixty-six books).

They were far from ignorant, weren't they?

Depends what you mean by ignorant.

I doubt they would have comprehended how the shape altered the airflow this inducing torque and lift in order to curve the path of the boomerang when thrown a certain way...

It's interesting that academians have to make the Bible look like It was written by men by projecting mistakes into It; not to mention genocide, infanticide, polytheism, and a host of other things.

Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Which is it? Either your god made the bible look like men wrote it, or men made it look like god wrote it. You can't have it both ways, chief.

A free tour for two of your choice:
  1. The Ark Encounter Theme Park
  2. Chick Tracts Publishing House
Ah, I see, an ignorant challenge walking tour.

BTW, the irony of your OP title and track record of challenge threads is not lost on me. :)

I agree.

But I believe God kick-started the whole process.

Oil is my favorite example: hidden in the earth until just the right time, then God led select men to find it.

[Note to academians: I didn't say He led them to it; I said He led them to find it.]
Hardly hidden. And it is a massive problem for your beliefs that we know how and when it was formed.

There is only one way they were able to craft a boomerang: divine revelation. :bow:

Funny how God appeared to the Australian Aboriginal people to tell them how to make a boomerang and yet didn't tell them to be Christians...

I also believe His man of choice to find a cure for cancer may have been Darwin.

At the same time? With no synagogues to preserve the earlier writings?

Well, if you'd rather wait a thousand years, I'm sure you'd fail just as badly as if you only waited a day.

I mean, if you're sincere about testing this, well ... you're the professor.

Make it extra credit or something.

You asked, 'According to whom?'

Why not you be the first academian to test it?

They originated long before Christianity.

Origins of the Boomerang | Owens & Sons Boomerangs

Slaves in the south weren't allowed to own guns so they used 'hunting sticks', comprised of a short wooden handle with a metal weight, usually a large iron nut taken from the railroad tracks, attached to the end. It was thrown with great effect at small game, usually rabbits. It was still in use long after slavery ended.
