The Smithsonian's Statement on the Bible



“On the other hand, much of the Bible, in particular the historical books of the old testament, are as accurate historical documents as any that we have from antiquity and are in fact more accurate than many of the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, or Greek histories. These Biblical records can be and are used as are other ancient documents in archeological work. For the most part, historical events described took place and the peoples cited really existed. “

The problem is that the futurists and fundamentalists change scripture and then nothing makes sense.

No other religious book has created a Scientific field of study, that is, Biblical Archaeology.

That is how accurate it is. The Bible records the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Hebrew people, which is a true sign of veracity.

However, groups like the Egyptians, for example, only wrote about things if it cast them in a good light. For example, if they lost a battle they would either not record the battle or they would write it in such a way that it made them sound as if they had won.

They also cancelled people like we see on the Left like one of their Pharaohs that fell out of favor. They tried to cancel him by removing any historical mention of him, but one got passed the goalie and we know know about him.

This is what the Left is trying to do today as they tear down statues and rewrite history books to their liking etc.

Bible Archaeology isn't a scientific field.. Archaeology stands alone now. ..They do not seek to "prove" the Bible.. and Israel has the best archaeologists in the world.

Even the Smithsonian says there is zero evidence of Noah's flood.

Yes it is a scientific field

Biblical Archaeology

Biblical archaeology involves the recovery and scientific investigation of the material remains of past cultures that can illuminate the periods

slife.org

Not all of the Biblical Archeology scientists place all their faith in the Bible, but they are there because they respect it for it's veracity and information that has led them to digs they would not ordinarily have found without it.

For example, there is no record of the Philistine people, aside from the Bible. For years people speculated that they were all a myth, until they went digging where the Bible says they lived. Then they found them

As for the flood of Noah, there are all kinds of ancient accounts about a great flood. So what does that tell us? There was a great flood. Just knowing what a flood is would necessitate experiencing one. The only question then becomes, how big was it?

The Bible is kind of a freak of nature really as most of history has been lost. But here we had an educated people who could read and write and record things, while then having it survive over the span of time

It is miraculous in and of itself.

It is not just a religious book, it is a treasure trove of history we should not even have.

There have always been records of the Philistines and the Phoenicians.

Noah's flood was a flood of the Euphrates River Basin in 2900 BC. It wasn't worldwide. There is zero evidence.

The Bible reflects some historical events, but distorts them greatly. The very name Bible is associated with Babylon, these are cognate words.

LLLLOOLLLOL

The bible is FAKE.
You have ZERO proof.
There is No superior being, that monitors our daily lives (or total LIFE) and determines if, after death, we enter heaven (or hell).

No much of what happened in the past was recorded accurately. We have problems in the modern world figuring out what is reliable and what isn't, back in the past it was even worse.

The Bible has gone through revision, editing and the like. It was written for a reason, and that reason was NOT historical accuracy.

You did not even read the amazon links, did you jackass? They are summaries of studies that prove the accuracy of the New Testament. Obviously, that sort of complication is beyond your limited intellect and much beyond your reading comprehension. IGNORE.

Never mind, both of these words are clearly related to Babylon

.
surprise, accurate historical events as settings used to legitimize - fantasy dialogues ... transcribed decades after the events actually occurred.

christianity - the state religion of the roman empire.

I notice that many emotional atheists can't separate their distain for Christianity from their acknowledgment of evidence standards.

If the Bible was just book X, it would be seen as very reliable to any atheist based on how many people collaborated and how much can be verified. Writing was far different back then.. people didn't create these kind of records to "fool" or troll people.. and even if some people did, they'd not have been able to amass such a large, overwhelming net as the Bible did.

However, because the Bible is a Christian book, it angers many instantly, and is rejected with buzzword bumper stickers.

howabout - the only christian book - written 4 centuries past the events of the 1st century. and a subject matter used but not limited to the desert religions.

Are you sure using subject matter that is multiple generations removed at this time period is seen as wrong by the historic community?

Or.. are you just making this up on the spot?

I know better.. but, I want to hear you say it.

The Smithsonian website has the digs of the Temple down to the 18th level, so stop your bullshit.
