Read your statements.

Can you wonder why we are atheists?

Actually I don't wonder why you are an atheist, I know why.

Trusting to christian archaeologists when it comes to the physical record is a bit like trusting the house to teenagers when going on a long vacation: Things will get fucked up, covered up, and excuses will be made.

I wish there were a way to give an infinite number of kudos to a post.

Ep.........Worship (large)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You must be watching a different Nat Geo than I'm watching. While they pull their punches in many cases so as not to offend too many of you idiots most of their productions aren't half bad.

In the 19th and early 20th century there were scads of preachers masquerading as archaeologists with a shovel in one hand and that fucking bible in the other. They did pronounce every rock they found to be something that "Moses" pissed on.

But that model has been trashed by modern methods although I admit there are still books in print that were copyrighted in 1919 which xtian asswipes still swear are TRUE, TRUE, TRUE.
( Think Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles, there.)

Start with this, if you dare....which I assume you don't because ignorance is your shield.

See where modern archaeology has taken us.
