My point has nothing to do with hurt feelings.
It has to do with revealing the truth to eyes that have previously been blind.
It has to do with revising the wrong standards already in place and gaining acceptance of a new standard that, incidentally, does not contradict the Biblical accounts.
That's the purpose of the research and reports, isn't it? To discover and teach the truth about history and renew interest in reliable records that have been falsely discredited.
Let the students reach their own conclusions without insulting them before they sit down in class. Draw them in with fascinating evidence, don't push them away with a personal, political or religious vendetta.
"Draw them in with fascinating evidence, don't push them away with a personal, political or religious vendetta."
Vendetta???? So exposing a whole industry, whether it be political, educational, economic or religious, for hiding "truth" is a vendetta. Maybe time has come for the chips to fall where they may.
Actually one should be asking themselves what else has been hidden from the beginning!
