I won't start arguing about verses and silly things like that. Rather than go back and forth talking about what the bible does or does not say, I would like to address the base of the problem. Everything we hold to be true must be subjected to logic. If it weren't then society would clearly crumble. We couldn't communicate effectively which is an extremely important thing in the world because without the collective findings of scientists, humans wouldn't advance at all. People who believe that the bible is true have decided to forfeit their reasoning skills that separate the humans from lower forms of life.
Though some places and some stories have been confirmed with science it does not mean that since a couple cities have been found that entire bible is suddenly infallible. I can make up stories and with a bit of effort I could probably gather a following too. Obviously, I would just be messing with everyone but imagine that after I die, the followers perpetuate my teachings and carry them on into the future. It won't make them any more true than when I first wrote them down. Age adds some mysterious qualities to things that makes people more attracted to them.
Though, there isn't anything that would make the bible any more true than my stories.
Edit: I hope Qeautrix will realize eventually that he is being a tard. I had a spat with GovtCheez quite a long time ago and have since realized that I was at fault.
