The bible is an historical document that has proven a lot of itself true. I don't care how many foam-at-the-mouth atheists say otherwise.
Hmmm, 17 years ago, as a born-again Christian, I started reading the Biblical Archaeological Review (BAR - an evangelical Christian publication) and began to appreciate just how little of the Bible has been archaelogically verified. I found this both exciting and deeply troubling - exciting, because it meant there was so much to potentially discover, and deeply troubling because it meant that countless Christian teachers had unwittingly pumped me full of complete bullshit regarding just how well archaeology corroborated the Bible.
But perhaps you are aware of far more pre-capitivity Biblical-archaeological finds than me?
