Whenever issues of of history, science and religion come up...things get twisted by bias...just like the whole global warming/climate change crap...
Evidence. Real or manufactured? Yes or no? Proper scientific procedure followed? Yes or no? History based upon evidence? Yes or no? History and science agree with religious texts? Yes, no or inconclusive? People acknowledge their biases up front and willing to change professional opinions based upon evidence? Yes or no?
It really shouldn't be that hard.
There is enough evidence available to prove dozens of dozens of biblical people, places and events. But for some there is great fear in acknowledging them, and mainstream academia and popular progressive ideology always seem to throw dirt up into the air...
When The Lord comes down and takes care of business it will be entertaining to see what such types do.
