He can go ahead and use the Internet, spoken of in the oldest book of the Bible ...
Job 38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
Did you notice that VS gave you an answer for how he translated the verse you requested? Does it seem reasonable to you?
From the Defender's Study Bible:Oh. That passage was about the internet? I thought it was describing a transporter room. How were you able to figure out that the passage was about the internet, and not a transporter room?
One of the most remarkable discoveries of modern engineering science is that electrical currents may be used (radio, television, etc.) to transmit information with "lightning" speed.
The passage is written in such a way as to cover all forms of electronic communication as they are invented; not just one specific one.Same goes with transporter rooms. I'm still not sure how you made the distinction, from that passage. The only thing I can think of is a form of cold reading.
Actually I do, but I suspect you do not. I gave you the benefit of the doubt. My bad.Do you know the difference between the theory of evolution and [prescient] evolution? which is what I actually said?
The passage is written in such a way as to cover all forms of electronic communication as they are invented; not just one specific one.
Thus, when the telegraph came out, they could cite that passage.
Later, when the telephone came out, same thing.
And same thing later for radio, walkie-talkies, SSB transmissions, transceivers, transmitter-receivers, cell phones, Internet and yes ... maybe even your transporter in the future.

This is a good illustration of why so many creationists REFUSE to interpret the Bible literally----despite their feigned emphasis on "literal interpretation". The Job passage uses the Hebrew word for LIGHTNING. Why? Because the passage is referring to lightning. That is the "literal meaning".
But when they think of something they wish to INSERT in the Biblical text, they just find some passage and plug it in. Lightning has no linguistic relationship to the Internet or anything electronic. But they enjoy pretending. They actually think they are "helping God out" by making the Bible say anything they wish. (Thus, inserting "evolution" into the a first century letter by the Apostle Paul.)
The Book of Proverbs describes them well.
I'm not sure what your obsessive compulsive disorder has to do with anything. But, anyway.
Gonna hafta disagree as usual, chief.Lightning has no linguistic relationship to the Internet or anything electronic.
SOURCELightning is one of the most dramatic effects of electricity.
Methnks he doth just press thy buttons. Everyone knows Noah was from Michigan. Paul Bunyan himself cut down the trees to make the ark, and he hauled them back to the mill with Babe, the Great Blue Ox. When the ark was closed and the flood waters came, Ol' Paul skeedaddled for Montana. The last thing he said as the water splashed over his nose was. "What MORON said this was gunna be a local flood?"I find it interesting that AV insists on a literal reading of Genesis, but when it comes to other parts of the Bible, he is perfectly willing to throw in his own interpretations like Noah in New Jersey, Adam in China, flood water on Neptune, the periodic table, evolution, etc.
Methinks thou dost err.Methnks he doth just press thy buttons.
Gonna hafta disagree as usual, chief.
You may want to check up on the relationship between lightning and electricity.

Try the whole verse ... in English.Yes, if a plain Hebrew word...
Scientific Facts in the Bible5. God told Job in 1500 B.C.: “Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?” (Job 38:35). The Bible here is making what appears to be a scientifically ludicrous statement—that light can be sent, and then manifest itself in speech. But did you know that radio waves travel at the speed of light? This is why you can have instantaneous wireless communication with someone on the other side of the earth. Science didn’t discover this until 1864 when “British scientist James Clerk Maxwell suggested that electricity and light waves were two forms of the same thing” (Modern Century Illustrated Encyclopedia).
Maybe about pressing the buttons, but even you must agree that the Paul Bunyan story has more validity than molecules-to-man.Methinks thou dost err.
Therefore to disprove claims of a LOCAL flood, one has to merely look at a map.
