Science is not about validating faith based arguments.
Then take it out of the realm of faith and put it where you think it belongs.

(And show me your evidence -- all ten tribes.)

To quote you from a previous post;
Validate that they ever existed
How is science which is evidence based supposed to "validate" something that ever existed when the something in this case is your faith based argument.
Would you care to elaborate what type of evidence archeologists would be looking for that not only supported their existence but differentiated the ten tribes from each other?

The archaeological evidence comes from the Assyrians themselves which paints a different picture.
From the Assyrian cuneiform;
In my first year of reign *** the people of Samaria *** to the number of 27,290 ... I carried away.
Fifty chariots for my royal equipment I selected. The city I rebuilt. I made it greater than it was before.
People of the lands I had conquered I settled therein. My official (Tartan) I placed over them as governor. (L.ii.4.)[4]
So accordingly to the Assyrians, there was no large scale deportation of Jews in the form of twelve tribes which only occurred from Samaria in northern Israel let alone the return of only ten tribes.

Validate the ten lost tribes of Israel with science -- all ten of them.
You could start by validating your interpretations of the bible in some way that doesn’t involve ‘just because’.

No I don't.

There is a list of the ten northern tribes of Israel that was carried away by the Assyrians.

Validate their existence with science, if you can, please.

Which bit of science should be used for this do you think?

To show us your validation skills.

I'm giving your science a chance to shine.

Let's see how luminous it is.
Woah, hold your horses. You still haven't provided the argument you wish to have validated. You can't go asking people to validate a non-existent argument.

Oh wait, this is AV we're dealing with. That's exactly what he does.

Are you saying they don't exist?
