If a scientist who wants to connect with the Bible wants to learn about creation, he can read this thread (others too of course). If a scientist can't bear the word Messiah, God, Lord, gematria and this thread, then, well, tsjah, pfft, let him invent things like plastic and that's it. We ourselves can enjoy learning about the rest.
Scientists have given us a lot more than plastic! Think of the computers and internet we are using to discuss this. And think of the fundamental theories like General Relativity and Quantum Chromodynamics that explain what's happening on the very large and very small scales. And think of what medical scientists have given us concerning our health, and the astrophysicists have given us visions of the literal "heavens" filled with billions of stars and galaxies ... scientists have pretty much given us everything we've got here in the 21st century short of the raw material and life that we thank God for.

So it is quite appropriate for the first word of the Bible to connect it with the Birtish Empire on the plane of countries on the planet. I think it's easy to digest. And coincidentally the first word starts with great B also. We can ask ourselves who came up with the name for the empire.
Well ... the British empire waned long ago. I don't see why anyone would give them much notice anymore. Here's what Wiki says about the origin of the name:
The name Britain is derived from the Latin name Britannia (earlier Brittannia), via Old French Bretaigne (whence also Modern French Bretagne) and Middle English Bretayne, Breteyne. The French form replaced Old English Breoton, Breoten, Bryten, Breten (also Breoton-lond, Breten-lond).
Historians today, though not in absolute agreement, largely agree that the Greek and Latin names were likely drawn from native Celtic-language names for the archipelago.[1] The Latin term derives from the Greek form Prettanike which originally referred to a collection of islands that are known today as the British Isles. Along these lines, the inhabits of the islands of Pretanike were called the Πρεττανοι (Priteni or Pretani).[2] The shift from the "P" of Pretannia to the "B" of Britannia by the Romans occurred during the time of Julius Caesar.[2] By the 1st century BC Britannia was being used to refer to Great Britain specifically, due to the Roman conquest and the subsequent establishment of the Roman province of Britannia, which eventually came to encompass the part of the island south of Caledonia (roughly, Scotland).
It seems to me that the phonetic connection between Brit-esh and British is entirely coincidental and without any meaning at all. Do you hold to the doctrines of "British Israelitism"?
But I am intrigued to know if there is any connection of the Sanscrit name of the Creator Brahma with triliteral Hebrew root BRA = to create.
All the best,
Richard
