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?That's what orginal thought looks like sport. I can think for myself therfore I do not need someone to verify what is common sense for me.
If you believe my comon sense approach to be invalid then by the study and structure of archeaology show how my conclusions to be invalid.
Anyone can raise an objection, one does not have to be an expert to point out the emperor isn't wearing any cloths.
To insist that one has to be an expert to doubt or question a so called expert is an appeal to authority and is fallacious reasoning.

(Shifting the goal posts) Logical fallacy works both ways. You made the assertion now you must support it.
Quote: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!Then proove it. You made a verfiable statement, show me that what you said is indeed supported.
All i asked was to the nature of the evidence found of a 3400 year camp site in the desert. Do they have any, have they ever found evidence of this nature. I also pointed out that whole cities disappear in the desert with permant structures without a trace, and these guys point to the lack of evidence as if it were some legit peice of evidence.
If the tables were turned you people would be all over this. confirmation biased much?
