But It's Just A Story, Right

Dig this…

The Bible.  Some swear by it.  Others take each word literally, and think every one else should too.  Still others think it’s nothing but a story with a few historical references thrown in for good measure.  I think it’s an interesting read, but, just like sifting wheat from chaff, one must toss some of what is written in said book aside.

Be that as it may, I read this today and found it interesting.

"Canadian archeologist Russell Adams’s interest is in Bronze Age and Iron Age copper production. He never intended to walk into archeology’s vicious debate over the historical accuracy of the Old Testament—a conflict likened by one historian to a pack of feral canines at each other’s throats.

Yet by coincidence, Prof. Adams of Hamilton’s McMaster University says, he and an international team of colleagues fit into place a significant piece of the puzzle of human history in the Middle East—unearthing information that points to the existence of the Bible’s vilified Kingdom of Edom at precisely the time the Bible says it existed, and contradicting widespread academic belief that it did not come into being until 200 years later."
