Jeff,
	I see another potential flame coming, but all
I say this time is that after being an archaeologist for
10 years, I never heard of any archaeology evidence to support
what you claim it does.  There are all sorts of discoveries
of cities and events mentioned in the Old Testament.  There
are all sorts of discoveries that are mentioned in Greek
Myths, American Indian myths, Mesoamerican writings, etc., etc.
None of them support any ideas about the existence of anybody's
god(s).  They do support the idea that everybody's sacred
teachings are based on everyday experiences - history, mythology,
philosophy, and garbage.  You can read anything you want into
the stones and bones, but none of it's scientific reality.
Of course, if I could have convinced some fellow archaeologists
that their evolutionary fairy tales made no more sense, I might
still be a starving archaeologist.
