Archeaology clearly shows that the stories in the OT are frabrications. There is no record outside of the OT that says the Jews were held in Egypt or that the Isrealites conquered anyone in Canaan. I just used what I learned in geology (plate tectonics) to refute a young Earth. Plenty of scientific fields dealing with wide ranging topics have disproven many parts of the bible.
Sorry, but that is simply not true. I can't remember which documentary it was, but the hebrew nation DID at one time settle in Egypt. The fallen walls of Jericho have been excavated.
You are right about geology, there is nothing in the bible to suggest a young earth as Gen 1 was a poem how God created the 'Sabbath' as a day of rest.
