To test any Scriptural historical account by means of any theory of archaeology is to test that which cannot be false by means of that which cannot be true. It is the height of absurdity.

Actually, it's verifying that that which can not be true, is, in fact, not true.
Have you been getting into Rush's pills again?
Archaeology cannot be true? This would mean that any archaeology confirming something biblical would actually disprove the Bible, right?It just doesn't add up!
Dude, you can't have it both ways. You cannot impose an automatic "heads I win, tails you lose" outcome like that. Watching you seriously attempt it is just sad, like seeing a little boy throwing a tantrum and calling his mother a cheater for beating him in a game of checkers fair and square. When you lose, you LOSE. Deal with it.

That's a mighty bold assertion with no means of support, Kenny. You are assuming that the Bible is always flawlessly true and that archeology is always false.
That's the kind of erroneous conclusion you arrive at when you assume a book written by ignorant, nomadic, sheep herders to be literal, inerrant, God-given, TruthTM .
"To test any Scriptural historical account by means of any theory of archaeology is to test that which we unquestioningly accept on faith regardless of facts by means of that which we have no intention of trying to understand. It is the unprovable opinion of sola scriptura sects, such as fundamentalist Baptists."
well, if your premises are
Ah, yes. If you agree with something, then it must be true. If you disagree with it, then it must be false. It's absurd to test whether or not something you believe is true because if you believe it then it must be true.
Archaeology can be false, surely. People have been burying fake fossils and new pots and stuff. Just think of the Piltdown man.
Oh, you mean it the other way around! Nah, that's just too stupid. Don't forget to breathe, m'kay.
This is all they have left. If not for the Fundie deep south both Ham and Hovind would have no followers. They've both tried corrupting science and been ridiculed so they now fall back to the oldest assertion, that the Bible is always right, no matter what.
Ham is preaching to the choir and still being bothered by nagging questions
This is what happens when a 12-year-old is allowed to create an anti-science organization. A brain dead, indoctrinated, egotistical one, at that.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
