I would venture to say that many of the world insist we never have enough proof of the Bible, nothing is sufficient enough to them to prove its truth. I do not slam or knock discoveries, nor do i knock those who value discoveries; but I do understand the two opposing sides (those who never see enough proof, they continue to disbelieve, and then those who want no more proof, they accuse you of lacking faith, and they accuse you of seeking more proof, claiming that you do not see enough proof, or that you are the one personally expecting more proof out of the Bible).

I am all for more proof as a sign for those who need it. But I am also satisfied with proof we have. Do not devalue what we know, just so you can inspire bigger and newer searches for proof. You can keep inspecting a bridge for more and more proof that it needs repair until finally it falls because you havent repaired it.

Yet I appreciated this article, because it is amazing how in what manner discoveries are made. A 30-year old doing what other 26-year olds, and 15-year olds, and 80-year olds have done or come across in every century of discoveries. I say COOL. Almost a rosetta stone story.

Thank you for the link to a very interesting article. It is amazing how the Word of God has been given to us over such a long period of time, yet still retains a unified message that culminates with the Ceremonial Law and Moral Law coming together in Christ. The Bible was written over a period of 1400 years by 40 different authors. Only God could coordinate something like that.

so true from its first author Moses i n 1512 BC to its last author Malachi in 443 BC (1069 years), of course if you include John in 96 AD (1607 years).
