Creating Fire Report: Supporting The Urantia Book's Unique Quality of Credibility

The Urantia Book was published in 1955. UBtheNEWS documents how new discoveries and scientific advances increasingly support The Urantia Book's account of planetary history, itâ€™s prophecies, and, to a limited extent, itâ€™s statements about science. UBtheNEWS also provides introductory information about The Urantia Book.

Creating Fire Report Summary:
The Urantia Book, which was first published in 1955, states â€œFrom the year A.D. 1934 back to the birth of the first two human beings is just 993,419 years.â€ It recounts that these first two human beings (Homo erectus) were a set of twins, a male and a female and that they were distinctly different, genetically superior mutations in comparison to their pre-human parents. According to The Urantia Book, they chose to separate themselves from their pre-human clan and that â€œOn their northward journey they discovered an exposed flint deposit . . . Andon [the male] discovered their sparking quality and conceived the idea of building fire. . . The Primates ancestors of Andon had often replenished fire which had been kindled by lightning, but never before had the creatures of earth possessed a method of starting fire at will.â€ These two ancestors of all mankind are said to have achieved this ability.

A 2004 discovery at the Gesher Benot Yaâ€™aqov archaeological site in Israel provides strong evidence that human beings were able to use flint to create fire about 790,000 years ago. Prior to this discovery, the Terra Amata archaeological site in France, though very controversial, provided what was widely considered to be the best evidence for the early ability of human beings to create fire, suggesting that fire was being created sometime between 230,000 and 380,000 years ago. But undisputed evidence for the ability to create fire at will only goes back about 200,000 years. The evidence found at Gesher Benot Yaâ€™aqov, with its clusters of burnt flint at different levels, is considerably more definitive than what was found at Terra Amata. This 2004 discovery not only is consistent with The Urantia Bookâ€™s assertion that flint was initially used to make fire, but also was found in the general area where the first human beings are said to have lived and, by any analysis, pushes the date closer to what was given in The Urantia Book by hundreds of thousands of years.
