Right.

And there have been dozens - likely hundreds - of claims by archaeologists of findings that dispute the Biblical historical record....only to be found from later FINDINGS to be totally wrong and the later findings to totally support the Biblical record!!

One instance is the claim that Moses could not possibly have written the first five books of the Old Testament because there was not archeological proof that writing existed in Moses’ day!

This “fact” has now been shown to be totally wrong, that writing did exist in that part of the world - hundreds of years before Moses lived.

On a general level: Good. That’s how science works. New evidence can lead to new hypotheses and explanations. Something that is probably alien to you.

On a very specific level, you’ll need to back that about the writing up. Science has known that writing has existed for thousands of years before Moses’ time for decades.

Also, those discoveries don’t always lead to archeological support for the Bible as you claim. Much modern research has shown that the cities and cultures described in the Bible as being active in Moses’s time are more accurately a picture of events duirng the 8th or 7th C BC leading to speculation that that was the period when those sections of the Bible were written.

Beyond all that, to date, all the investigations across all the years have produced no evidence for divivity or the supernatural
