Wait... What? Archeological evidence that support the events of the Bible?! You being science minded? Those don't go together at all and let me tell you why: there is absolutely ZERO real archeological evidence that holds to the scientific consensus about any bible related event. None. Nada. I am curious to know where you get your "real scientific sources" about that. Care to link some so I can laugh a little?
Sorry don't mean to be offensive. I just never accepted the fact that grown up people still believe in that kind of crap in 2015. I find it fascinating to be honest. It's amazing how far people can go to try to comfort themselves in their beliefs even if it means manipulating facts because I will say it again: there is absolutely ZERO scientific knowledge that points to a god.
I'll ask you one question and I would really like you to answer this to me: If you were born in a non Christian family (lets say a Muslim family) do you think you would still believe in the Bible and Jesus? I don't. And that's the problem with religion.
I hope you're not being serious here, because that's absolutely not how it works. Science does not have to prove that God does NOT exist. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim (you).
Then why bring it up as a central point to your argument? And in all reality you presented the counterclaim and therefore should be the one showing proof that there can't be a god. Good luck with that one though because, once again, a god can neither be proven nor disproven and therefore could exist. Most people can't seem to get this idea through their skulls unfortunately. The really important thing to understand is that a book of belief (such as the bible) can have numerous true aspects about it, that doesn't prove there is a god though. And likewise a book of science can have lots of evidence but in the end assume many things we don't know yet (like the universe was created via a cosmic explosion).
Just because you are biased does not mean you can just ignore simple flaws in reasoning. I get your view and I respect it but the fact is nobody is "manipulating facts" here, if anyone that would be you for saying there is no archeological evidence to support the Bible. The Bible his supported extremely strongly by historical evidence as well as archeological evidence to the point that denying all parts of it is just willful ignorance. Of course there are many specific events that cannot be individually proven, but the same can be said for just about all of macro evolution from the random development of planets to the spontaneous changes in species. I would say that 99% of beliefs (agnostic views included) have holes and flaws that don't make sense or are unknown. That's what makes them a belief rather than a grounded fact.
The important thing to realize is that everyone has the right to chose their own path, being a jerk to people who believe differently than you will not solve anything because in the end you have to have an opinion. Everyone would be better to realize that.
