I think you have missed the whole picture. You are looking in the wrong places. You need to look in South Centeral Saudi Arabia for the evidence. It is all over the place there. This includes the split rock with water coming out of the top of a mountain, a dry lake bed, remains of houses and corals, remains of alters, pillers put up by King Soloman commerating the crossing of the read sea, our gulf of Aquba, remains of charots and human skulls under the crossing place, and evidence of their existance in the area. If you use Google Earth you can even view the piller that was repositioned by Irael and the one by Saudi Arabia that held the inscriptions and dedications of King Soloman at the point of the crossing. If you email me at ooldhill@gmail.com I will give you a power point presentation of it all.

Curios,
I’m with Joe on this one. I left the faith for other reasons, but I would like some references also. I have been hearing the opposite on CNN and the history channel. My problem is with the doctrine, but their has been evidence of many Biblical things. They even contend that their is evidence for the red sea parting.- CNN

Curious,
I’m a women and honostly the problems in the church against women depend by denomination. I do agree that overall the Bible is pretty “sexist”, but while in the church I didn’t experience many problems due to my gender. The only denomination that really annoyed me was when I was visiting a Pentecostal Holiness church. It’s no wonder that most of the women were so over weight, it’s as if they have no reason to look or feel good, except to go to another church meeting and to keep trying to feel happy all the time- that not just women but the men too. But the rules were crzy, no pants, no make up, no hair cutting.

Joe, if people in a thousand years find a jar I made out of clay that has a picture of a unicorn on it, is that evidence for the existence of unicorns?

Old joke time:

Q. Why did the Jews wander in the desert for 40 years?

A. Because somebody dropped a quarter.

Curious (#66)—

I’d be interested in seeing what archaeological finds “prove dozens of the Bible’s stories are wrong”. Is the “Bible Unearthed”
praised by archaeologists themselves? Can you list some references or quotes? I have actually been hearing quite the opposite. They recently found an artifact that referenced “Goliath” on a piece of pottery—saw it on CNN.

Just curious where you get the info that “dozens” of stories are wrong? Just haven’t heard that.

Regarding women and Christianity, it seems unreasonable that women should follow a faith that makes them second-class. If they cannot become priests (Catholic and Mormon), and their testimony equals 1/2 of a man’s testimony in court (Muslim), and they are less important than their husbands (Christian), then their continued devotion to those faiths is not logical.

They may say that they get an amazing amount of good from their faith, but I think they create that good for themselves, the same way they would if they belonged to a non-religious social service organization.

In fact, if the women who support these male-dominated clubs with volunteer altar duty, obedience, hard work, and sacrifice simply refused to partake until their churches recognized them as equals, those churches would fail.

CARM said more than only “no archaeological find has ever contradicted the Bible.” The Christian apologetic ministry went further and added, ” Archaeology has only confirmed what the Bible says.”

CARM hides the fact that in the highly praised book, The Bible Unearthed, archaeology proves that dozens of the Bible’s stories are wrong. CARM denies that archaeology is destroying the Bible’s myths, but archaeology is doing just that.
