Quote

A Haifa University archaeologist on Monday said he has unearthed structures in the shape of human feet believed to have been erected by the Israelites upon their initial entry to the Land of Canaan.

Prof. Adam Zertal said that the large compounds discovered in the Jordan Valley were "the first sites to have been built by the Israelites upon entering Canaan and manifest the biblical notion of claiming ownership of the land by setting feet on it."

Prof. Zertal's excavation team uncovered five large foot-shaped compounds that he identifies as the biblical site of Gilgal.

I have no doubt there is some truth to some parts of the Bible.

I have HUGE doubts about what is said at the beginning and ending.

No, just that it can't be taken literally. Archeological records show that anything that could be defined as THE Exodus occurred over a VERY long time, not in a single instance.

DUDE... that is total bullshit.. just ask any of the muslims around here in SC... there were no jews in the holy land before the 20th century when they started bombing and oppressing the poor helpless muslims of that area.

He gets paid per link posted and pointing out spelling mistakes but he must refrain from posting any of his own comments to get paid.

What about the books of Kings & the books of Chronicles? These books aren't trying to sell anything, but mostly contain a dry grocery list of the succession of kings in Judah and Israel. Do you think that was all made up too?

Or is it more reasonable to believe that a literate society would keep a written list of their kings?

Dreamdancer is denouncing a book that he has possibly never read.

It is a collection of many books and much of it is actually historical records.

Maybe you should read a book before you denounce it.

I read Dianetics, the people who follow that crap are just plain stupid.


You think the Bible is dodgy, yet people far more scholarly than you can prove you wrong.

Were you actually there to witness the events entailed?

Are there things we cannot do today that have been done in the past, or have occurred?

Absolutely

Some people say Santa Claus is a crock, as well. But he was real. Saint Nicholas of Myra was a 4th-century Greek Christian bishop of Myra in Lycia, a province of the Byzantine Anatolia, now in Turkey.

Therefore, we should be able to go to the north pole and find an elf workshop and flying reindeer, correct?
