Flustered? By a fucking moron who believes in fairy tales?
Grow up, asshole. The only ones still clinging to the stupidity of the OT are the extreme nut fundies who really think there was an Adam and Eve and shit like that. Real archaeologists already know better.
Quote:In the last quarter century or so, archaeologists have seen one settled assumption after another concerning who the ancient Israelites were and where they came from proved false. Rather than a band of invaders who fought their way into the Holy Land, the Israelites are now thought to have been an 'indigenous culture that developed west of the Jordan River around 1200 B.C. Abraham, Isaac, and the other patriarchs appear to have been spliced together out of various pieces of local lore.
