Using the very science you guys like to try to debunk all the time. We can date when these things are, we can compare them to the timeline we do know. Some areas have had large parts of people in them for long periods of time. If you want to throw out all forms of Archeology, then fine, we can ignore any idea of anything ever known about the past including the bible because we can't use any archeological evidence that would support the bible, gee...again it looks like you guys are arguing for atheism.
The whole, "Were you there." argument is complete BS, and would destroy our court systems. This is more of a begging to have stuf you don't agree with thrown out. We don't have to have been there to learn from things. There are people that devote their lives to understanding and learning about these areas, both Christians and non Chrsitains, creationists and none creationists and so on. Are you going to argue that all these historians and archeologists are part of the huge conpsiracy to make the world look older then it is?
Some times I wonder how you guys can be sure of anything even the bible with the way your quiet willing to throw out any evidence you don't like.
