The discovery of sulfur nodules in that area and the subsequent claim that this substantiates the biblical story of the divine destruction Sodom and Gomorrah is merely an instance of the "Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy" - perhaps mixed with "Circular Logic."

Obviously, Bronze Age nomadic tribesmen were aware of the sulfur nodules (which may have been more plentiful or accessible / nearer the surface, etc. three thousand years ago), knew that sulfur is flammable, and hence concocted a crazy story about how they got there.

For modern people to then point to the nodules as evidence supporting their claim of divine retribution is in any case fallacious.

Much reading doth make thee mad.

"In that area" ?

That was the first clue .... got any other areas ?

"Obviously" ?

Have you discovered a book, or perhaps you were there or maybe you're channeling your spirit guide.

I have a written account of an event, the reason and all the actors involved .... and LO ! .... BRIMSTONE "in that area"

Your modernity is a Texas sharpshooter fallacy.
