Well archaeology. I mean we did find what is believed to be Troy after all.
There are ruins of towns all over the ANE. Two of them apparently led some creative bastard to concoct the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
There are a whole pile of towns located in Hissarlik as it is a classic tel. That hardly means the Iliad is true.
Anyway, it is hard to argue with Alter's premise, that the "trinity" developed much later.
Quote:Luke 23:34
Then Jesus said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do".
I mean...who was ole jesus talking to? Himself??
Of course, as far as I am concerned this simply means that the whole story is a human concoction...not just the "trinity" part.
