This sounds way more poetic and philosophical than the original discussion of the thread. The problem I have with the direction of this "discussion" is its ephemeral dance versus remaining tied to agreed upon points as everybody moves forward.
For instance, a list of scientists who made some contributions to the greater good was presented earlier. Their Jewishness (never defined) was cited as the reason for their prolific number compared to other...what? There was no comparison. Surely scientists of Jewish decent have made contributions to humanity but to present a list of names in a vacuum is not an argument by any definition. It is not the readers responsibility to look up counter evidence, that is the responsibility of the person making the hypothesis as demonstration of the strength of their claim. Otherwise it is hot air and, in this case, hot air followed by more ambiguous Biblical references.
I will stay away from the racist overtones of your various posts ("...Jewish people are above the average.", or "Hebrews don't have that bias."). There are enough hot heads on ATS to ignite that discussion one way or the other.

I guess the tyopic would be "The jewish race has had the biggest impact and made the greatest contribution to scientific advancement"
You would obviously be the affirmative and me the negative.
It will be a debate with a Mod as impartial judge so if either of us get off topic or get personal we will lose and Im guessing your like me and dont like to lose things
We just need to confirm the name and topic of debate then Ill send it to the Mod and were good to go.
P.s To the OP I sincerely apologise for hijacking the thread but once again thanks for bringing up a great topic
I'll start with the first contribution to humanity. The books written between Moses and John as compiled in the Book given to man from the Hebrews as the light of God to the world. The Bible.
-Claim: It is the only history book ever written to accurately construct a picture of history from the perspective of the complete fourth dimension (Past, Present, Future), accomplishing this by speaking most specifically about a version of the nation of Israel that has only been in recent existence since 1948. It foretold this nation coming into existence and was correct to the letter.

Yep, it's really hard to follow what's already written and then make it happen..
It's called "self fulfilling"..

Of course there are others who are not Jewish. But an abnormal amount of major discoveries have come from the Jewish people. The statistics back me up. Look at these lists. Take their discoveries away and we would not be where we are. This is true for anyone who has made a discovery, but the Jewish people are above the average. Way above. LINK LINK
Here is a list for the area of Chemistry alone LINK.

OP, you need help.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zion (Hebrew: צִיּוֹן, tziyyon; Tiberian vocalization: tsiyyôn; transliterated Zion or Sion) is a term that most often designates the Land of Israel and its capital Jerusalem. The word is found in texts dating back almost three millennia. It originally referred to a specific mountain near Jerusalem (Mount Zion), on which stood a Jebusite fortress of the same name that was conquered by David and was named the City of David.
Zion came to designate the area of Jerusalem where the fortress stood, and later became a metonym for Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, the city of Jerusalem and the entire Promised Land to come, in which, according to the Hebrew Bible, God dwells among his chosen people.
