the bible should be the way to check the accuracy of archaeology, not the other way around.

                I've seen some bullshit tv programs trying to do that, it's amazing how many blatant lies and assumptions you get when you combine the Bible with anything.
Archeology is best done by those who honestly study the past.
 
        
            
        
            
                
                And heres a question for you. If we find a wasted, crumbled and burnt city in Brazil with the word Sodom on a stone and Gammor,,,on another, do you think that's Sodom and Gammorah? Wrong place.
Another, we find a 450foot three deckered covered boat in the Canadian Rockies with "Built by Noah & Sons" inscribed on the deck, is that Noahs Ark? No, Wrong place.
Stupid examples, indeed. Either would give me second thoughts (Scam would be the first) but both prove your Bible WRONG on location. You fundies would be all over yourself, making trips, buying souvinears, kissing artifacts, rewritting Biblical statements,,,,you would, and you know it.
 
        
            
        
        
            
                
                “the bible should be the way to check the accuracy of archaeology, not the other way around.”
That’d be like the suspect signing the confession that the prosecutor dictated.
And how would  that work, anyway?  Archaeologists find no evidence that the Egyptians ever kept slaves.  The whole story of Exodus is a put-up job.  What would you have them do, hold of publishing ANYTHING until they can produce biblical-compliant evidence?  Wouldn’t that encourage (or demand) fraud?
 
            
        
     
    
    
    
        Confused? 
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
