Daily Question,"Don't our traditional forms of information communication, notably "the book" and especially "the textbook" contribute to our belief in linear history?”

Our traditional forms of information and communication like a book do not attribute to our belief in linear history. I believe our traditional forms of information communication, notably "the book" and especially "the textbook" supports our belief in linear history, but doesn’t attribute to it. What attributes to our belief in linear history the most is our faith, but what supports our faith are the books. Basically the books and textbooks support our faith that contributes to our belief in linear history. The support from the “textbooks” and “books” makes it a small contributor, but what really contributes to our belief are things like our culture and faith.
The bible is what supports our faith that contributes to our faith in linear history. God once said in Revelation 21:6a, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.”  What God said contributes to our belief in linear history because he said he is the beginning and the end; this means there is a beginning and an end. In a novel, the story is told in a chronological order with a cause and effect nature, so when we read this it helps support our belief in linear history, but doesn’t directly contribute to it.
Our beliefs come from our culture and the people around us. If the people around you and your faith believe in a linear history, you’re most likely to believe in linear history. Overall, our traditional forms of information and communication, notably "the book" and especially "the textbook" do support our belief in linear history, but does not contribute to our belief directly.
