Kanji = the language of the bible?

I recently came across an interesting website that the combinations of various characters and radicals in Chinese characters reveals something amazing: the ancient Chinese people knoew about the bible and worshipped the same God that the Jews did.

Here is an example of some of the amazing evidence found in the dramatic flash animation. To write ‘naked’, you combine characters meaning ‘fruit’ and ‘man’! Proof of that the ancient Chinese knew of the Garden of Eden!!

The author takes a lot of liberty in his/her interpretations of the meanings of various characters. The flash animation also relies on the English translation of the Bible, which may not exactly match the ancient form of the biblical stories that would have been available thousands of years ago. So what do you think: truth, creativity, or just plain bullshit?

Bullshit, but not the plain one. It’s (Chinese) Creationist bullshit.

Here are some good links on the validity of the claims:

Anything about religion is bullshit. Like that little town in Aomori or Akita that claims to house the grave of Jesus.

No the first time I’ve heard of something similar. The Japanese people are alleged by some to be one of the lost tribes of Israel. There are books devoted to the subject, drawing comparisons between Shintoism and Judaism, and Japanese and Hebrew.

Considering Jesus Christ is really buried in Japan, the connection is clear….

Actually, the radical for 裸 is ころもへん, derived from 衣（ころも）.
It has one extra stroke over しめすへん.

I think for those who don’t believe, everything about believing is bullshit. But I guess they should investigate both sides of the arguments first before making judgements. These days you can’t comment bad comments about gay issues, racial issues, islam… but interestingly, Christianity is the only major religion nowsadays which people could openly call bullshit….

“But I guess they should investigate both sides of the arguments first before making judgements.”

How do you know that they haven’t?
