Did you know that the most advanced, high tech recording device in the universe has been noting some key vital signs of your life since birth? Like what? Let me demonstrate: Letās go back 6,000 years ago before TV, phones, planes, camcorders, tape recorders, cameras and newspapers to Gen. 4-5.

Gen. 4:9 Cainās conversation
