The Bible Unearthed is a much more recent book (2001) and does appeal to archaeological evidence.The wiki link I gave earlier has quotes in the footnotes.
Scarre, Chris (15 September 1993). Smithsonian Timelines of the Ancient World. London: D. Kindersley. p. 176. ISBN 978-1-56458-305-5. "Both the dromedary (the seven-humped camel of Arabia) and the Bactrian camel (the two-humped camel of Central Asia) had been domesticated since before 2000 BC."
Bulliet, Richard (20 May 1990) [1975]. The Camel and the Wheel. Morningside Book Series. Columbia University Press. p. 183. ISBN 978-0-231-07235-9. "As has already been mentioned, this type of utilization [camels pulling wagons] goes back to the earliest known period of two-humped camel domestication in the third millennium B.C."

Brakeman actually has several valid, very logical points that you merely responded to with "nu-uh" poorly disguised as sarcasm. I'd say he schooled you proper.News flash: one atheist thinks other atheist is right! Film at eleven.
Quote:Ah, yes, and Jesus saith unto them, "Do as I say, not as I do."It's not hypocritical to tell someone of another status to do other than one might do oneself. A police car went zooming by me this morning, yet he would give me a ticket if I drove as he did. Looks like I schooled you proper.
What a surprise, a christian that endorses hypocrisy from his own deity, thus producing a Get Out a Jail Free card for all Christians.
And haven't atheists ever played Monopoly? You guys talk disparagingly about get out of jail free cards, but in the game they're good things.
Quote:My only question now is do I listen to this Christian or the thousand others that will disagree with him? Hmmmm???Yes, Christians disagree on some subjects. Are you suggesting we just walk in lockstep without thinking?
