I find it amazing how you state the evidence of evolution is overwhelming but you make a statement such as the above about the Bible in the year 2003.
FYI: many,many, archeological(done by secular scientists in Israel) finds in recent times have done nothing but re-affirmed the writings of the Bible, even things that at the time we thought the bible was "incorrect".
