Drich your argument is made up. You didn't get it from a valid archaeologist. For instance, I can go to https://israelfinkelstein.wordpress.com/ and look up plenty of Israel Finkelstein's peer-review published stuff. You are making an argument that you as a layman thinks is valid - if it's valid show us archaeologists who agree with your theory?
They aren't making their arguments with no evidence, they have an amount of clear evidence that contradicts the biblical accounts. For instance, we know that the ancient Jews fleeing Egypt never went to the actual Mt. Sinai - even evangelical scholars acknowledge this!

It does not matter who you think you are or what you think your an expert at. bottom line, there is a vast region they are claiming absolute knoweledge of over a 4000 year period. To say some definatly did or did not happen without any evidence for or against puts one in a realm of faith. (eitherway.) for me that is what my religion is about. for you and your two super stars, this is sacrilege.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
