Sorry, yes, she said the existence of written code demonstrates that the Bible is historically accurate. That is, writing existed, ergo, God’s people had a written language and could write down their history.

That writing existed is not evidence that the Bible existed in this period. That we lacked evidence of writing in this period is also not proof that the bible did not exist. Absence of evidence does not equal evidence of absence.

For some reason, I'm reminded of a story where civilization is recovering from a apocalyptic event, and some future archeologists come across a copy of the Star Fleet technical Manual...
