~”What exactly do we mean by discernment skills?”~

I mean the ability to recognize and distinguish good/true from evil/false. The Bible teaches us how to do this in Galatians chapter 5.

That's not really telling how to discern what's true. Good perhaps, but not true.

But archeology, like any science, is changing its mind all the time. Why should I believe in fickle archeology in the face of the testimony of the Holy Ghost?

No archeology is not "changing its mind all the time". There are new discoveries made but that's not the same as changing its mind. I sense you want to get away from archeology or any discussion of external evidence. DNA evidence is another big problem.

Everything that is good is of God. But you’re missing my point, and I can’t explain it any more clearly than I have.

Yes, and all those new discoveries routinely turn conventional wisdom on its head in the scientific community. Science, while valuable, is fickle. Archeology is no exception. Neither, by the way, is genetics.
