God created, Adam (man) named and has been naming ever since, genesis will explain it better for u

Can you explain why the bible was written with words from a Dictionary.

Thanks

1. GLOBOPHOBIA: The fear of ballons popping.

2. OMBROPHOBIA: The fear of Rain.

3. POGONOPHOBIA: The fear of beards.

4. ERGOPHOBIA: The fear of work.

[size=18pt]Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia - The fear of 666[/size]

Now Imagine this...

Someone just sat down... Decided to invent words and the whole world believes it!

** According to Wikipedia **
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia (derived from Ancient Greek roots ἑξακόσιοι [hexakósioi, "six hundred"], ἑξήκοντα [hexékonta, "sixty"], and ἕξ [héx, "six"]; literally meaning "fear of [the number] six hundred sixty-six"wink is the fear[3] that originated from the Biblical verse Revelation 13:18, which indicates that the number 666 is the Number of the Beast and the number of his name, linked to Satan or the Anti-Christ.[4]
