"...And WE, christians, have prove that the things in the bible actually happen. And you you wanna know something else? The bible is historically acurate, and most historians hate to admit that but it's true and they acutally use the bible to chronicle events. So shut up, cuz the only thing you are doing is cussing and giving no argument, but that's because you don't have any and the only thing you can do is cuss. Open your eyes, everything is spelling it out, there is a creator!"

Most historians hate to admit that because it is a huge steaming pile of feces.
My imagination has its own entertaining figments, greenyahoo. I don't need yours...that is, the ones that own you.
Do you even know the behind-the-scenes history of how the bible came together? History and accuracy were not as important to the early bishops as was their desire for political leverage. You will notice that Paul managed to steer whole generations of Christians away from Christ, yes?
Any 'evidence' that contradicts the Bible you throw it out, and anything else that fits even remotely you trumpet, even though there are more plausible reasons for it.
I blame those National Geographic documentaries that dig up archeological evidence then add the question, "Could this be the inspiration behind the Biblical story of _____?" Not that NatGeo is at fault, but the format allows idiots to misinterpret the message easily, turning a "It may be" into a "It Is".
Can you give an example or you're just taking it from your ass?. Actually, according to the study of historiography, it's the first time since the fall of the Roman Empire that we're studing history the way it is through documents, not taking the Bible as reference. In fact, how do we know about pre-history, the stone and the metal ages and the Roman and Greek Empire, which the Bible doesn't mention until the NT?. How do we know about Sumerians or the Middle Ages?
Ok, I have never seen an archaeologist or historian that has found evidence of a speaking snake, an expulsion of a non-found "Paradise", of the roamings of a man called Abraham in Mesopotamia and there isn't even clear cut evidence of Jewish in Egypt except in the Mereptah rock.
The bible is historically acurate ...
So are many parts of Danielle Steel's romance novels. There's a big difference between being accurate about Nebuchadnezzar's conquest of Jerusalem and being accurate about a woman cursed by God for being tricked by a talking snake into eating a piece of magic fruit. And there's plenty of non-confirmation, too. For example, the Mesha Stele confirms that Mesha was king of Moab (2 Kings 3:4), but gives a wholly different account of Moab's war with Israel.
They keep talking about all this proof that they have, yet they are never able to show any of it. They also keep saying that we have no proof, and when we present it, they just say "that doesn't count because it contradicts 'godidit'" or some rubbish like that.
Well, there's some truth in there. From the 1600s up many archeologists went looking for the fabled cities or any evidence of Biblical or church claims. Scholars of ancient writting tried to reconcile the Bible with other works.
The legworks been done and found nothing save the similarities of other cultures fables. Today only pseudo-historians, usually with a heavy bias towards Christianity, do any reports on "finds".
You'll find their work on church pamplets mostly but some have been spotted lieing their asses off or making ridiculous assumptions and connections on the TLC, FoxNews, Discovery and History networks.
You make a lot of bold statements, but you offer fuck all proof to back them up.
In other words, just totally standard and quite boring fundie bollocks.
Nope, the bible has been shown to be historically inaccurate. Their is lots of evidence against a global flood and the story of Moses, and there is no evidence for the stories in the rest of the bible.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
