In general, the trouble with biblical narratives is not that they aren't grounded in history, but that they aren't grounded in the timeframe they purport to be. The narrative is confused, compiled during and post exile, and most of the narratives mix a mythologized and legendary (but still descriptively historical) past with then-present moments and more than a little bit of ideological propaganda...

Thank you for that synopsis. Atheist Forums at its very best.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
