Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Go dig in the Garden to find the roots of religion.

Answer: God

"GO Dig."

The Bible opens with God creating light and the earth and everything upon it. Every culture seems to have the heritage of a creation story. In Hinduism, the God Brahma dropped a seed into the ocean and the seed becomes a golden egg. In China, a hairy ogre with horns swings a giant axe and splits yin from yang.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." - Genesis 1, v 1-3
2. After six days, even the poor animals needed a rest.

Answer: Seventh

"dayS EVEN THe"

The Bible says God created the universe in six days, and on the seventh day he rested. This day is called "sabbath".

The number seven appears repeatedly through the Bible. In Revelation there are seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls. Noah waits seven days to release the dove.

"Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." - Genesis 2, v 3
3. Born in a stable, Jesus simply had a manger to sleep in.

Answer: Adam

"hAD A Manger"

Adam, in the Hebrew Bible, means humankind, both man and woman, and sounds like it is derived from the Hebrew for soil/earth which is "adamah".

Genesis not only describes Adam's creation from the soil as the first human, but also lists his family tree of direct descendants through Seth right down to Noah.

"Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." - Genesis 2, v 7
4. Pilate might have freed Jesus, but the crowd had the veto and set someone else free.

Answer: Eve

"thE VEto"

Eve is the first woman in the Bible and therefore identified as the mother of all humankind. There is a conversation in theology about a woman called Lilith, supposed in Jewish tradition to be an earlier wife of Adam, but no such mention of Lilith appears in the book of Genesis itself.

In Genesis 2, woman, Eve, is created fully grown from one of Adam's ribs. It is reminiscent of the Greek goddess Athena being born fully grown and wearing armour, stepping right out of Zeus her father's forehead after it was axed in two by Hephaestus.

In Greek mythology, Zeus and Athena create the first woman, Pandora. Like Eve eating the fruit from the forbidden tree, Pandora opens the forbidden box and releases chaos.

"So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man." - Genesis 2, v 21-22

"Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living." - Genesis 3, v 20
5. He'd enjoyed himself but it was time to go.

Answer: Eden

"hE'D ENjoyed"

God threw Adam and Eve out of the paradise of Eden after they'd tasted the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. The Bible has never named that fruit, but it is often depicted as an apple in art and literature.

"So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken." - Genesis 3, v 23
6. Knock loudly or ring a bell and the door shall be opened unto you.

Answer: Abel

"ring A BEL"

The story of Cain and Abel appears exactly the same in both the Bible and the Quran. Cain kills Abel out of jealousy. The boys were Adam and Eve's children. They then had a third son, Seth.

It's from this story we get the get the phrase "Am I my brother's keeper?"


"Now Cain said to his brother Abel, 'Let's go out to the field.' While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. Then the Lord said to Cain, 'Where is your brother Abel?'
'I don't know,' he replied. 'Am I my brother's keeper?'"
- Genesis 4, v 8-9
7. Where tigers may live near kangaroos?

Answer: Ark

"neAR Kangaroos"

Flood stories exist in many cultures. Archaeological and geological data supports the existence of floods at the end of the last ice age when human culture was at the Stone Age level.

In Genesis 7, God tells Noah to build an ark to save his family, along with pairs of each animal, from the flood God is about to drown the earth with.

"Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark. The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in." - Genesis 7, v 15-16
8. To brighten up the plates of curry, we served mangoes and okra in bowls.

Answer: Rainbow

"okRA IN BOWls"

The rainbow is referenced in several books of the Bible. In Genesis, it is described as a promise from God that the earth will not suffer extinction floods again.

In Norse mythology, the rainbow is a bridge from heaven to earth which the gods can cross. This has led to modern day mythology of a rainbow bridge from earth to heaven which only dogs can cross, and often a pet dog's death is described as him crossing the rainbow bridge.

"Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life."
Genesis 9, v 14-15
9. There's a theory that the Mona Lisa actually represents the Virgin Mary.

Answer: Isaac

"mona lISA ACtually"

Isaac was Abraham's son. Abraham was asked by God to sacrifice his son on an altar, which he was just about to do when God intervened and spared Isaac. It was a test of faith.

Da Vinci's famous painting "Mona Lisa" has accrued many theories about her. At one point there was a theory that she was supposed to be the Virgin Mary, also Mary Magdalene, and even a self portrait by Da Vinci.

"Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, 'Abraham!' 'Here I am,' he replied. Then God said, 'Take your son, your only son, whom you love -- Isaac --and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.'"
- Genesis 22, v 1-2
10. The under-fives auditioned for parts in the school nativity play.

Answer: Esau

"under-fivES AUditioned"

Esau and Jacob were Isaac's twin sons, and Abraham's grandchildren. Esau was born first and should have inherited the rights and responsibilities of his father, but in a desperate moment he sold most of his birthright to his younger twin brother Jacob for a pot of hot stew. Later, their mother, who favoured Jacob, tricked Isaac into blessing Jacob, thus disinheriting Esau totally.

"Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. He said to Jacob, 'Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I'm famished!'... Jacob replied, 'First sell me your birthright.'
'Look, I am about to die,' Esau said. 'What good is the birthright to me?'
But Jacob said, 'Swear to me first.' So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob." - Genesis 25, v 29-33
