Visitors to the San Diego Natural History Museum’s Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition got a surprise treat this week: the oldest known copy of the Ten Commandments.
.
“I am just in awe,” said Mildred Hill, 81, of Carlsbad, as she stood beside the exhibit yesterday morning. Under glass was a 2,000-year-old fragment written in Hebrew from the biblical book of Deuteronomy.
“I knew they were coming, but I didn’t know if we were going to get lucky ”“ and we were,” Hill said.
Ooooo! By displaying this in a public building, they’re violating the Separation of Church and State!
