biblical archaeology

Corroborating evidence of the Exodus has been found, each of the evidences corroborating the others in the region in question so as to strengthen the case for the Biblical Exodus with each of the strong corroborating positives weakening the weaker questionable negatives regarding the debate.Ned, your comments referring to the Exodus thread appear to be in the present tense. Is there an open Exodus thread?

I don't mean to contend with your action here, Jar, but Jackie has done such a thourough job of researching and digging up all this interesting and relative data to topic that I would request you make this an exception, allowing it stand as posted. It's all going in my documents for future reference and I'm sure others would appreciate it as well.I haven't yet logged in on the links, but it appears that Jackie has selected significant statements from the links cited. It may be time consuming for readers to readily find the complete data that she has selected.

Thanks Asgara. Yes, for sure, I should have checked out the date of Ned's post.

Your own bias is showing, Paul. Jackie asked if you'd like to respond to some of her cited usefulness of archeology in some areas that have been contested and that are important. It would be interesting to see your response to some of them, given your statement above.How does archeology address the Mormon BOM? I assume you mean there's no archeological data to confirm it. Is that correct?

Nothing is written in stone here. All the pieces to the puzzle are not in place yet. Archeology has also produced the corroborating evidence of the Exodus, with evidence of the chariot wheels of Pharoahs army at the sandbar at Nuweiba Beach along with the other corroborating evidence of the region. As I stated above, the archeological positives of the Exodus top the negatives, imo.

Archeology = the study and science of ancient people and cultures.
Archeologist = students of and specialists in archeology.Jar, I do most of my own auto repair, but I am not a specialist in auto repair as a profession. Whether I am the mechanic doing it or have a specialist do it, it gets repaired and automobile repairing is being done. I am doing auto mechanics. I recently rebuilt my own EGR tube on a late model Ford van which was unavailable anywhere, including Ford. The professional mechanic could not repair it! The same goes with archeology. Anyone studying or doing scientific research on ancient people and cultures are practicing archeology. 1. It was from Biblical information that led the pioneers to the discovery of the Nuweiba crossing and to the corroborating evidence of the crossing.2. No secularist archeologists or peer reviews were interested because most of them, like you, regard the Bible as myth. Says the skeptic who's likely neither seen the video or read the book and who has no viable answer as to those photographed evidences all corroborating one another.Btw, me friend, do you think all of Jackies above linked data is also moot in regard to lending evidence to the respective Biblical accounts?

Thanks much, Jackie for blessing us with the stuff you've researched and linked us up to. It's a superb job and a keeper for future reference. We need people like you here, so I hope you will hang out here and join us the debates and discussion.

So that's one which you consider to be in question. What about all the others?

Is this another Jar obfuscative word games? Are we discussing biblical theology or are we talking Biblical historical credibility here? So we'll do do the round about long process, i.e. the jar modus operandi. I'll raise the bar for you to see how you do. Jar, do they lend any support to the historical credibility of the respective Biblical accounts to which they pertain?AbE: 1st sentenceThis message has been edited by buzsaw, 01-07-2006 04:08 PM

"Most do not" looks like you think some do. Sepecifically which ones do you think lend some support to the historical credibility of the respective Biblical accounts to which they pertain?

Ok, now we're getting somewhere in this tedious exchange. So you seem to imply by your analogy that those archeological discoveries, Jackie has cited, which verify that certain controversial Biblical people, events or places actually existed do lend some support to the historical credibility of the respective Biblical accounts to which they pertain.Is that correct?

Hi Brian. I didn't mean to ignore you in the chat room. I didn't know what I was doing, but had a pleasant visit with all you friendly folks there. Anyhow as per topic, it bewilders me when secularist folks throw out the baby with the bath water with Biblical archeology. I guess many are sooo afraid that if they acknowledge one significant find, especially involving miracle, they're in trouble ideologically.What is archeology? I defined it, according to my dictionary. Is there a problem with that?

Thanks for your help in the chat room and elsewhere. I got my speaker working.Ok, I see, using your analogy was a stretch. However, would you concede that archeology has lent some support that King David existed around the time of the Biblical account?
