    Archaeology plays a nice role in defending history. If we "believed" what minimalists were saying before 1846, Judah never existed and David was a myth. Now we know that minimalism is often wrong. Minimalists don't seem to have taken very many logic courses because the argument from silence never works. Egypt has been a fantastic treasure trove of manuscripts because of no humidity, but I am still hoping that Palestine continues to yield artifacts. One of the greatest field trips I ever took in seminary was to the Chicago Oriental Institute to see thousands of artifacts and manuscripts under one roof, including Queen Esther's throne. Highly recommend that trip. You'll need a whole day for the various exhibits. Then go out for pizza.

    Its possible the camera they used could not see the slides & it would have just shown a blank screen depending on what kind of slides & the kind of lighting used.Typical slides when filmed with light only show a blank white screen. There ARE ways to make the slides show up though since I've seen it done but you probably have to special equipment, either special camera or special kind of slides or both. For a lecture like this, they really should invest in such equipment & show the slides!

      ***** it's not just him it's other individual people who have rediscovered and confirmed many but not all of his caims. The one where he talked about ark of covenant was kinda odd but he was right on all the other finds soooooooo.....

    • @captain42979
      @captain42979 Před 8 lety +1

      ***** Let's take them 1 at a time. I can say the Mount Sinai find was a definent yes and the lake below that came from the rock that moses split and all the finding's around there.
      The Noah's ark find is almost a definent yes I really can't see how that would be a no but that is one I am like probably butt I need to research about the actual test that were done and who were they done by.
      He found were Jesus was crusified.and the missing stone from the tomb below.
      The ark of the covenant is a HUE claim so I dunno it seems all good but only time will tell
      He found city of Sodom and GOmorah this is a yes but I think he just rediscovered alot of this you see people had known about these places for thousands of years they just kinda got forgotten in the last few hundred years and rediscovered. A lot of the finds were from different peoples stories that we still have today for instance Noah's ark I think was found around ww2 from an airplane that had saw the boat formation.
      I would say the most convincing for me was the MOUNT SINAI find that was in your face real. You can see all that stuff on google earth I can't believe someone didn't know that earlier because it is the only path the Hebrews could have taken out of Egypt and all the chariot's that were found and the poles marking the crossing of the red sea I think one was put in a museum by the Jewsl before they retreated from the muslims.
      People say Ron Wyatt was a bad person taking peoples money but I don't know any individual that got robbed, I mean maybe Ron didn't show proof of the ark of the covenant but you can guarantee it wasn't cause he was being lazy. He really worked his butt off over in the middle east finding all this stuff and he never got rich go talk to his family they are not rich. Another thing he testified many times about things in church and he balled his eyes out you can usually spot a fake. Right before he died he made a confession I don't know if you listened to it but he said he didn't lie about anything, you see it isn't just one thing that makes me trust his intention's it's everything.
      People alway's say people like Ron Wyatt is a scam artist for taking money but he didn't get that much look at the way he lived I mean come on people never question all these other archaeologist when they find something even when there proven wrong they don't get beat down and called names and they get hundreds of thousands of dollars sometimes millions.

    Having listened all through he seriously oversimplifies the sceptics view to make them seem totally unreasonable. Why would the Jewish scribes want to fake their own history? But, on the other hand, finding artefacts that verify the babylonian captivity does not mean that the crossing of the Red Sea was therefore strictly miraculous . Storytellers down the ages can soon turn a natural event into supernatural one long before anyone thought to write it down.

    Here's my question that no atheist or judeochristian has been able to answer. Passover has been a Jewish tradition for at least 2000 years. The song of the sea has to be 3000 years old minimum. It's basically a fight rally/diss song. It speaks of a tradition where Moses led the jews out of Egypt and buried the Pharoah. Why isn't there a rebuttal from egypt? Why has no Pharoah mentioned this tradition? Why haven't I heard of one papyrus saying "those Israelites, they are rubbing in their victory and we'll get them" or "those Israelites, what a bunch of liars." I mean, the lack of response could imply the tradition is true and it could imply the tradition is false. Hindu, Muslim, jew, Christian, atheists--we are some shit talking mofos. Yet, no one in Egypt clapped back. It's ancient times so word traveled slowly but the levant ans Egypt are neighbors. There was a Jewish temple in elphatine Island in Egypt. The Egyptians understood their own history.
    I personally think the tradition has some basis in fact. There were semite slaves in Egypt and I assume a lot left.

    Bloom doesn't get it. The miracles performed by the pagan gods and told of in the pagan literature totally outdo the biblical miracles. Why believe the one and not the other? There is history in the bible but it's found mostly between the lines. Egyptology and Palestinian archeology have reached a consensus: ancient Israel was never in Egypt so no Ten Plagues; no Exodus; no Wanderings and no Conquest. David and Solomon may have existed but if they did they ruled villages, not a kingdom. The bible authors sometimes used the names of real people and places but as propaganda props. According to the bible Abraham (~2,000 BCE) came from "Ur of the Chaldees." Who were the Chaldees? The Chaldeans. But they did not rise as a tribe until over 1,000 years after the time of the Abraham character and didn't control Ur until centuries later. It's only wise to consider biblical stories to be maybe true - maybe false until corroborated by outside evidence. The real attitude of minimalists isn't to prove the bible wrong but just to not assume it's all historical until proved. Miracle stories just detract from trustworthiness. That goes for the New Testament too. The N.T. contains many contradictions. True scholars believe neither account until evidence favors one or the other. Bloom's attitude seems to be "believe both." Just because a person from the bible is confirmed to exist doesn't mean the stories are true. Yes, there was an Abraham Lincoln. Does that make "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" historical? Only peripherally.
