While I do have trouble following what message you are trying to get across when asked a pointed question (including the one you did not answer in my previous post) I will now leave this thread.
Nothing in what you presented constituted any sort of "proof".
Not even close.
I am leaving because I can see this thread about to become a "we'll show you that we are right and you are wrong thread" even though you stated as much in your first paragraph.
Take care.

That's why archaeology is helpful... I didnt know they found helms deep or the shire...
But they have found a surprising number of locations and evidence of the people that exisited in the bible, not bad for a book of "FICTION".
First, let's get one thing out of the way. An argument ad hominem (WIKI) is an argument made against the opponent (or even belief system) and not at the evidence itself. I understand that this is the typical approach from most here on ATS. I am hopeful that this thread will be different.
Delusion can be the only state of mind for anyone trying to cling to any other conclusion.

In the comic books, The Amazing Spiderman lives and fights crime in New York City.
New York City exists............therefore The Amazing Spiderman is real?.........

I can only post here, the same response which I have posted on another such thread.
I would like to ask for some one to explain the difference in two phrases which I hear a lot.
1. The Bible is the "inspired" word of God, written by men of faith.
2. The theory of evolution is "conjecture" based upon acceptable evidence of the changes in organisms over time.
I am not asking for some ones "belief" in the validity of either. I am interested only in the differences in the two statements.

That only flies if they also found peter parker, a photographer and there's rumors he got bit by a radioactive spider, who had a habit of saving people and stopping crimes.
From funding coins with biblical rulers said to not exisit (that is till finding coins.)
To jophesus account of Jesus (Jewish historian).

Preach it brother.
Don't expect anything you say to make a difference to skeptics because it won't. It is a way in which I have not heard it explained before. It is also interesting that more don't pick up on the fact that the other rulers may very well explain the existence of ETs. Hmmmm
Anyway, good job.

Argument from Ad Hominem is when you attack the object, but leave the subject alone. It is an empty fallacy.

I have one other point.
Or rather, question.
Is not using the "word of God" a bit like using the words of "The Twilliger" to prove the existance of Asimov?
