It's not Biblically degrading to Christianity to assume there's archeological evidence out there somewhere of what the Christian Bible claims is it?
Of course it is completly understandable that a person who believes in a literal and inerrant interpretation of the Bible would like to examine any possible evidence. I would like to see any such evidence examined by impartial bodies myself.
What ticks me off is when people manufacture evidence, or even delibrately misinterpret such evidence, in order to make money and not to discover anything remotely resembling the truth. According to my sources this is what is happening here.
I have a problem with dishonestly using any religion to further one's personal greed for money, fame, or power. That's why in another thread, after doing the research, I essentially denounced the milk drinking cow statue miracle as degrading Hinduism. I would do the same for any religion, as I feel that provided one knows the facts, it is a moral imperative.
After being here just a few months, I am certian I am not alone in this opinion.
