Perhaps this is a nit-pick, but they used carbon dating to date the ancient hebrew texts. Surely fundies aren't saying that we should TRUST carbon dating now? 
Anyway, it seems that the religious side has actually been correct about the date of the hebrew texts. I'll need to re-read the rest of this thread to see what the significance of that is, however. . .
Right. I re-read the thread, and. . . there doesn't seem to be much significance to the date of the texts. Some of the stories in the bible are very old, yes. It now seems likely that some were in hebrew before Greek. That doesn't prove that they're valid. They're still just very old stories.
Will someone explain to me why this is a major argument?
