My college theology instructor (many, many years ago!) said that the existence of the written Code of Hammurabi proved that writing existed, and that the Bible was historically accurate.

Old Testament "tales."

They just can't hide their contempt. And too many believers let this way of thinking seep into their conversations, also. Among too many we hear "back in Bible times," etc.

We know more about the historicity of the scriptures now than was accepted among scholars 100 years ago. The dates are the only dispute, and the miracles. The circular logic employed by Sciencism (as opposed to a method based upon a deterministic cosmology rooted in the Christian worldview, where experimentation is worth the bother) is at an impasse. "Miracles can't happen, therefore they didn't happen," etc.

I can fellowship with those who are true scientists, who at least allow for the possibility of God and even miracles, but those who can't allow for the possibility are engaged in a religion, a belief system.

“3,000-year-old text sheds light on biblical history”

I didn’t even know they could text back then. Was it on an iPhone IV?

"It's just the climate among scholars that they want to attribute as little as possible to the ancient Israelites," he said.

Do doubt, to appease those who would go on the warpath, rape, pillage and murder over something as simple as the Truth.
