    I would doubt this, just because a historical event happened in the Bible, doesn't mean it supports miracles or anything else. All it means is that an event was recorded.
  • WhitU4ever Jan 25, 2012 @ 5:18 pm | delete
    True, Jimmy. Thanks for commenting. Biblical archaeology is not proof all by itself. These archaeological finds bits and pieces of evidence that there is truth found in the scriptures regarding the historical events and items spoken of in the Bible that are related to these finds.

    But at the same time, just because it doesn't prove that miracles happened doesn't mean that they didn't. And when you gather ALL of the evidence from Biblical archaeology, historical writings (both secular and religious), and the Biblical manuscript copies that have been found and dated, and then you use investigative methods detective-style to try to figure out whether it is most likely to be true or not, you have a solid winner of a case.

    No one can go back in time and revisit the events and watch them unfold. We weren't there. But we must decide whether or not those who say they were there were telling the truth, and we must be generously fair about it and become familiar with the story they are telling in order to do that.

    It is discouraging how many people just dismiss it out of convenience when it could mean the most important discover they make in their lives!

    Very nicely done. The one thing that I took away from this was that the respect for life was as lacking in the past as it is today. Pontius Pilate's question, "What is truth?" was, I guess, meant to convey the idea that he determined what is true. Sounds earily like the way our history has been rewritten by those in power now. We're simply repeating history once again.
  • WhitU4ever Jan 25, 2012 @ 5:20 pm | delete
    I agree, One Guy. All throughout history, man has attempted to define truth, when it does not depend on our definition at all. I admire you for being open to understanding that and not simply going along with society in order to be well-liked and accepted by those who SEEM like they have life figured out.

    Great lens. Lots of information on it, and I loved reading it.

    Thank you, Julia!

    Very well done and informative lens! Good for you!
  • Art_Aspirations Jan 23, 2012 @ 10:02 pm | delete
    This is an outstanding lens. Congratulations.
    I am especially impressed with how you set up the first module. Scratching my head ... how did you do that?
  • WhitU4ever Jan 26, 2012 @ 7:17 am | delete
    Thanks, Art Aspirations! It's called css and html code. There are lenses about it on Squidoo, but I'm not into making the how-tos for technical things. I'm just fortunate to have a technical spouse who has been kind enough to teach me these things.

    Incredibly informative and beautifully presented lens. This a topic I've been interested for quite some time, and this the best resource I've seen. Angel Blessed!

    Wow! What a great lens, well written and so well organized. My son and I are studying ancient history with a focus on Biblical history this year in our homeschool. We are going to go through your lens and glean some new info and we wishlisted two books too!
    Thank you so much for all your hard work!
    Adding to my favorites and leaving a special Angel Blessing!

    Thank you so much for the blessing! My daughter and I are homeschooling too, and going over some of these finds as well.

    It is so nice to know that so many share interest with me on the topic of Biblical Archaeology. You will be featured as a fellow archaeology fan on this lens.
  • ideadesigns Jan 24, 2011 @ 12:43 pm | delete
    I'm amazed at this great collection of archaeology artifacts you've put together. I love the old parchments, carved stones and the pool of Siloam. How neat we're into the same stuff. :)

    thank you for this great lens that delves deeply into the facts and truth! God be praised! cheers
  • Senora_M Jan 10, 2011 @ 1:08 pm | delete
    My husband and I just got back from Israel where we saw a few of these items! Really cool to have real-world application (and our pictures to back it up). :)

    Another super cool lens. Nice job!!!

    I was once a subscriber to Biblical Archaeological Review, and this topic is of much interest to me. Your lens is exceptional, and the information here much appreciated.

    Hello,
    This is a great lens interesting and informative, 5* and I hope you don't mind a lensroll.
    Thank's for sharing.
    Take care,
    Robin

    And here I was expecting a "short" lens, lol. Lots of good information, I like it. Definitely a good introduction.

    I'm always struck that people will find reasons to doubt the historical claims of the Bible only to have a new discovery confirm the Biblical details.
  • poddys Mar 20, 2009 @ 7:02 am | delete
    Very nice lens and you have many examples of actual evidence that these ancient events and places did in fact exist. 5***** well deserved. With every passing year, more evidence of man's most ancient past is uncovered or better understood, and history now is not the same as we were taught 40 or more years ago. So much more is now understood. I am very interested in the origins of mankind and the earliest days. I am lensrolling this to my Zecharia Sitchin lens. He is a scholar who has spent a lifetime deciphering the texts from Sumeria and who has some amazing evidence regarding the beginnings of time.

    Good information, well researched!

    Fascinating info, presented well. I love reading about ancient cultures. Good, thorough work here.

    Thank you for listing your lens on The Squidoo Ink Pot at http://www.squidinkpot.com.

    Folks like to reinforce what they already believe. They can actively ignore the evidence you've cited and try to keep it away by ridicule; but the honest reader will test what is written and hold that which is true.
  • knicker Nov 21, 2008 @ 5:50 am | delete
    Nice lens! check out this interesting paper- http://www.wepapers.com/Papers/400/Bible_and_archaeologyBible and achaeology
  • poddys Nov 6, 2008 @ 9:17 pm | delete
    What a really nice lens, lots of great detail and photos. You have some items here that I had not heard of before. 5***** It is very obvious that the events of the Old Testament are real, there is plenty of evidence being uncovered to prove this and the events have been chronologically dated too. I found the works of Zecharia Sitchin to be highly enlightening, especially with regard to his interpretations of the books of Genesis and the origins of man. I have lensrolled this into my Zecharia Sitchin lens and also added it as a featured lens.
