No part of the Bible recounts the Industrial Revolution.
Coupled with the fact that no 'missing industry link' has ever been found, this proves that the industrial revolution never happened.
Are those cow bells I hear tinkling in the background of my pastoral idyll?
Cheers ;-)

And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Zephaniah 1:17
This is speaking of the early industrial revolution when everyone still had to use outhouses and lost their eyesight in industrial accidents. like before OSHA. See, the bible game is so easy anyone can play! Oh wait, is this the verse about Terry Schiavo? I forget. Let us all pray!

One view, although I am not a subsciber.. is that the New Testament is an industrial relations workplace bargaining agreement established to ensure that the civil unrest against Roman Law was restored to order... thus setting up the long chain of events that lead to the invention of the steam engine.
Apparently the Lord does work in mysterious ways.

You're probably thinking of the last book of the New Testament which some call the Industrious Revelation.

The Bible is a book about salvation history. Not about economic developmetns.
Your question tells me you are either an agnostic or an atheist. Well-known scientists have discovered God. You only have to examine the hard evidence with an open mind and you too will find God.
Albert Einstein wrote in his book "The World As I See It" that the harmony of natural law "Reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection."
He went on to write, "Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe--a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble."
A very significant statement, wouldn't you say? Why did he say that? Simply because our universe could not have been created by chance; the force behind the Big Bang, something physicists call "the Dark Energy Term" had to be accurate to one part in ten with 120 zeros. If you wrote this as a decimal, the number would look like this:
0.000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000001
Need I say more?
But the best proof God exists is no other than Jesus Christ, the Word of God who became flesh and the REVEALER of God. God the Father sent Jesus not only to redeem man. He was also sent so that we have no excuse for disbelieving. What human can?
Silence a typhoon?
Walk on water?
Multiply a few loaves of bread and fish in order to feed a multitude of 5,000?
Bring dead people back to life?
Give sight to people born blind?
Change water into wine?
Rise from the dead?
These miracles demonstrate Christ's power over life and death and the forces of nature. Only a person empowered by God can have such powers. And if these miracles were just made up, Christianity would not have grown rapidly in the first century. His disciples would not have risked their lives for a bunch of lies. That is simply not human nature.
One thing and one thing only can explain it: These men had encountered the real, solid, bodily-resurrected Jesus Christ. Not a hallucination. Not mass hypnosis. Not looking in the wrong tomb or any other silly excuse. The flesh and blood risen Christ was seen and touched by more than 500 people. (1 Corinthians 15,6). That's why the resurrection story could not be silenced.
God wants to show how much he loves and cares for you. After his conversion from atheism St. Augustine said “our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.” Humbly seek God and you too will find him. He wants to embrace and welcome you to his Kingdom.
May the Lord's peace be with you!

It doesn't. The IR had not happened yet, so it cannot be discussed there.....just as the discovery of Mars is not in The Bible. The discovery of America is not in the Bible, either. It had not happened yet.

That's between the frontier exploration in the Old Testament and the space exploration in the New Testament.

Isn't it the same book where it tells the story of how Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt on the Mayflower, when they came to Atlantis and met Luke Skywalker?
