"experimentally verified and the experiments are repeatable."

And there have been many archaeological finds which uphold the Bible.

"... sense out of a rumor is hard isn't it?"

The Bible is a 'rumor', okay. Your loss.

"Religion can't be proven wrong"

Several books were stripped from the Bible because they contradicted it. In other words, they were proven wrong.

(The BoM also fits this bill nicely.)

"keeps changing the definition of 'generation'."

How were they proven wrong? Are there any other books in the Bible that might be wrong? Should the Song Of Solomon be in the Bible?

And there have been many archaeological finds which uphold the Bible.

If I write a story about someone in New York and if two thousand years from now archaeologists prove that New York existed, does that prove that my story is true? How does an archaeological find prove the truth of the Bible stories? Does lack of evidence disprove the Bible?

I think that it all boils down to what verifiable predictions has the Bible made, that have come true? Verifiable predictions are the gold standard in science today.
