[QUOTE="rage, post: 149910, member: 2412"] maybe something along the lines of the book will interest you, if you are trying to decide whether or not to figure out whether or not the bible is infallible: The Bible Unearthed by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman. (From Barnes and Noble) The authors of htis book are not trying to debunk the belief structure in anyway, they have just come to find out that it shouldn't be taken literal. Some examples from the book: There is NO archealogical evidence of the Jewish people as they wandered through the desert for the supposed fourty years. Even at the base of Mt. Sinai, there is NOT ONE thing found that says that a large group of people where there. Nor at where they stayed for many years before entering "the promise land" (the best estimation of where that was). You might not think much of it, but you hvae to realize that if there were as large a group of people as the bible said, and they were at those two locations as long as the bible said, [I]something would have been found[/I]! Between that, and other arguements they put forth in the book, including arguements based on things like ancient culture's records (day-to-day records kept by the egyptians, ect.), they make a pretty convincing arguement. And if that isn't enough to convince you, I can always pull out the long list of bible contradictions (GE 10:5, 20, 31 There were many languages before the Tower of Babel. GE 11:1 There was only one language before the Tower of Babel.) and bible absurdities (LE 11:6 States, incorrectly, that the rabbit, or hare, chews its cud.); though I am sure substantial lists have been shared before....
