Scientists have succeeded in writing a full version of the Hebrew Bible — including vowel points — in a space smaller than the size of a pinhead.Using a scientific device called a Focused Ion Beam, scientists in Israel wrote the 300,000-word tome onto a 0.5-square-millimetre chip.
Apparenetly the angels standing on the head of the pin now have something to read...

i wonder if the scientists were of a different persuasion they would have put the new testament on there too...

Or perhaps "War an Peace" or the "Encyclopedia Britanica"

Possibly, but the New Testament is an unauthorized sequel, not really part of the Bible. At least that is what is believed by the original people who were given the Bible (the Torah) by God. Nowhere in the Torah does it leave room for another version, especially not one that is based partly on paganism.

Moses in the old testament speaks of a messenger to come after him and doesnt say he wont have a book. The old testament itself is the combined message of several messengers (david - psalms, moses - the ten commandments)

And the stories in the Torah do already show up in ancient Persia long before the Jews even existed, so the real story and the real original people are? Certainly not the Torah nor it people. It has been a long story almost as old as Humanity, the Gods have changed and so the names and yet the Stories have remanned the same.
