Quote:You are the one asserting that there are historical facts in your precious bible. I'm asking for a short list. I've already given you 4 that are hogwash so the ball is in your court.He's an atheist, stop with this childish "your bible" crap and act like an adult for once. So the Bible got things wrong, historians know this as said in the Yale video. So stop with the false dilemmas: either a source is completely right or completely wrong. What historians do is compare the Bible with other data we have about the time period.
You act like imperfect data is is a deal break-knock down-objection. I'd hate to have you on jury duty when all people get in real life is small amounts of imperfect data.
