Just the opposite. This archeological search at best showed that the story of Sodom may have been inspired by some quick destruction, and in that case, it showed that Bible lied because it completely misinterpreted what happened: like God didn't destroy that town but some rock that fell from outer space, like it did with Tunguska in 1908.
It again shows you that Bible is a heap of lies made by angry bigoted people who want to seed disunion among people and that you should stay away from it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
