Question
Hi, I am a college student looking for an analogy I believe was used in a book by Dr. Ruckman. It used the example of a world-wide disaster striking killing many people. Then thousand of years later archaeologists dig up a cave and find a skeleton inside. The skeleton was found in a sitting position in fron of a box with a kind of tube. The archaeologists determine it must be an odd religious practice. It is actually just a person watching tv when the disaster struck.  Do you know what book this analogy can be found in? Thank you for your time.

Answer
Andrea,

I hope you don't mind, but your questions was placed in the "Question Pool" (an option for volunteers) and I thought I could help. Though I am unfamiliar with Dr Ruckman myself, here are a few links that you can research and perhaps find which book you were looking for with that analogy...

Experience

I attended a fundamental independent Baptist church for many years. While attending the church I learned the doctrines and beliefs of the Baptist movement. I now attend an independent Pentecostal church. I have served there as an Elder for fourteen years. I minister in song with the choir and worship team. I am also the new member’s class coordinator, men's ministry director, and the Harvest Riders motorcycle ministry president.
In 1993 the Lord called me to "...preach the Gospel where ever I open the door..." I have had the privilege of ministering God's Word to churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In those meetings we have seen the Lord save, heal, deliver, and fill people will His Spirit.

Organizations
I am ordained through Harvest Church, and with the World Harvest Ministerial Fellowship. I also am a licensed minister with the State of Oklahoma.

Education/Credentials
I am currently enrolled with the Ames Bible College.
