Bible
The Bible was a Human religious text of Christianity, though some sections were shared with the other Abrahamic faiths. Among the stories told within it was that of Adam and Eve, the first Humans, who were created by God and tasked with populating the Earth with their offspring. When Captain Christopher Pike was captured by the Talosians, fellow captive Vina compared their situation to Adam and Eve. The Bible also told the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments; this was among the information that the Talosians accessed when they studied the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701's computer in 2254.[1]
The Bible was cited by Samuel Cogley in an impassioned defense of Captain James T. Kirk during court martial proceedings on Stardate 2945.7.[2] Dr. McCoy remarked that the Iotians' reverence for Chicago Mobs of the Twenties, which they referred to as "The Book," was akin to the Bible, as they had based their entire society upon it.[3] The Yangs of Omega IV also had a copy of the Bible, which included illustrations of the devil that bore a striking similarity to Vulcans.[4]
