- Here you have an interesting point. I'm curious, would you deny
- equally the validity of all statements made in the Bible? Archaeologists
- don't. If not, how do you distinguish between a true statement and an
- untrue one? Going a little further, would you also toss any other
- documents of comparable age? I'm afraid you won't be left with much
- knowledge before the printing press if you do!
