Faith that gets all wrapped up on objects and places really does need counseled by archaeology and science.

Otherwise it might be confused with a sort of rough idolotry.

"Faith that gets all wrapped up on objects"

The Torah is not an object to those of faith. To us it is the words of God. As such it is the reverse of idolotry.

Again you look at it as an "object" because you have no faith in the source of its contents.
