(archeology agrees with the Bible on it’s historical accuracy 100% of the time)

This is the exact same thing you said in the first post. There are Biblical inaccuracies when it comes to archeology, like Kathleen Kenyon's findings at Jericho.

Sorry her findings are not as conclusive as you’d like them to be.

From the conclusion at a website quoting her own words...

‘Kenyon felt that “any adjustment is possible according to what one wishes to adjust it to; if the chronology is too long, one can say that it has been inflated by making events successive which are really contemporary; if too short, one has only to say that generations have been omitted “

Gee - sounds like an evolutionists quote even though she claims to be a christian. Not much different from the quotes we see around here (esp. from ‘fence-straddlers’)...

I’ll still stand by the statement - the archeological evidence shows 100% support for the history in the Bible. Jericho is an actual city from the past no matter which age-dating methods are used!

One last item even the liberal site Wikipedia supports the findings of Garstang and (after Kenyon) Bryant Wood too. It’s really just more arguing over dating methods so why am I not impressed nor surprised.
