If I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
If I had my way
I would tear this old building down
— Rev Gary Davis
Neat. And right in the middle of the second picture, sitting in a concial depression, you can see the stone that David used to kill Goliath.

Gotcha - you know you looked for it.
How can this be? The youth earth creationists claim the world is only 5700 years old and they’re finding stuff from the 10th centrury BC? Oooops!
I was there in ‘06. Nice to see it continue to develop.
Gaza itself is a very old city. The book of Joshua mentions it in Chapter 15 and muscleman, Samson actually hooked up with a prostitute in that city and later escaped it by carrying the gates of Gaza on his shoulders bringing it on top of a hill.
Funny, how this find gives more credence to the Bible than evolutionist theories so maybe the creationists are correct about the origins of the Earth after all!!!
“The youth earth creationists claim the world is only 5700 years old and they’re finding stuff from the 10th centrury BC? Oooops!”
The 10th century BCE is only 3010 or so years ago.
(No, not necessarily a YEC, but you made a slight decimal slip.)
I fail to follow your logic.
You are correct - I admit my error. Thanks.
Not a surprise!
10 times 100 (Century) is a 1000 BC. Did you fail math or something?
Not that I am a young earther, but th 10th century BC was 3,000 years ago.
I think the young earthers get God’s covenent with the Israelites confused with the creation of earth. There is plenty of evidence of life and human life well, well, well beyond 6,000 years, though the Jewish story may well have begun around then.
Your admission of mistake is very impressive for here, and shows your intellectual honesty.
Not many on the Internet do that.
Bravo!
Any serious studier of the Hebrew calendar rapidly learns that dates prior to the Second Temple become exponentially more like suggestions than dates one can compare to some fixed epoch down the the milisecond like we do today.
Back then, calendars were for planting crops, honoring G-d, and jubeliee years. More than 7-8 years was ancient history.
I am not a “young earther”, but I do believe in creationism and think inter-species evolutionism is a fairy tale, which is why after all of these years, evolutionism is nothing more than a theory and can’t be proven (albeit it is a constantly changing theory).
