Church Hopping

In Genesis 12:2-3 God gives a blessing to Abraham and his descendants, whom we now know as the Jews. He promises to make them a great nation, to bless them and to make them a blessing to all the families of the earth. My question to you is, has that promised been carried out? Consider what the Jewish nation has done even though they make up less than 1/4 of 1% of the world’s population.

• 160 of 768 Nobel Prize Winners (that’s 21%) are Jewish

• 12 of Time Magazine’s Top 20 People of the 20th Century are Jewish

• Time’s Person of the Century was Albert Einstein (He’s Jewish)

• Several have tried (and failed) to wipe out the Jews, such as Nazi Germany, Haman of Persia and Pharoah of Egypt

• Most years about 30% of Harvard students are Jewish

• 23 of 1000 Ashkenazi Jews have an IQ over 140, compared to 4 of 1000 northern Europeans

• 50% of the World Chess Champions are Jewish

• 60% of top Hollywood positions are occupied by Jews

• 40% of top lawyers in New York City and Washington D.C. are Jewish

• Several empires (Assyria, Babylon, Rome) have ruled, exiled and dispersed the Jews from their homeland, yet they returned

• 23% of the wealthiest in America and Canada are Jewish

• A Very Small List of Famous Jews: Steven Spielberg, Harry Houdini, Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, Levi Strauss, Henry Kissinger, Groucho Marx, Alan Greenspan, Jerry Seinfeld, Anne Frank

• A Small List of Inventions Credited to Jews: Remote Control, LASIK eye surgery, Hepatitis B vaccine, flexible drinking straw, holograms, bubonic plague vaccine, Uzi sub-machine gun, shopping cart, vinyl record, cholera vaccine, Polaroid camera, blue jeans

Some of these facts are estimates or subject to change, but I think you get my point.
