No one can truly prove the bible for sure, but archeologists did confirm some accuracies of it.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see if they find some.

Just how much the archeologists must find, and more, before you are finally convinced?

You see you're asking for the impossible as woods rot or eventually used up, and Eden man is banished from. The Garden, even if the banishment was no longer in effect would eventually succumb to the desert environment. After all, it is located between the Tigris & the Euphrates river.

And when man is barred from. God could have allowed Eden to the mercy of the desert environment which would likely have become one of the many oasis' in the Middle East.

As of now, you know of the Rosetta Stone, the city of Jericho, & other discoveries. Not only that, you had three years as you have been debating with me and perhaps longer with other Christians. When will it finally be enough for you to believe?

YOU
I don't know how much would convince me, but we don't have any at all.

ME
I think I've told you this before, but I'll say it again. God provides evidence enough to make you think, but not enough in order to test you. Do you really what the truth? Do you really?

If you're truly & honestly seeking you will find enough evidence for you to make a decision. It involves speaking with believers, reading books on available evidence, & if possible, the experts on the field. However, if you do not but seek only opportunity to debate Christians in order to prove them wrong, then you never seeking truth in the first place. And I suspect that you are the latter.

Such are the same people who demanded that they see God first, or, insist in seeing a miracle. While some are honest, others persist in those demands knowing that it will never happen & so are justified in their unbelief.

Generally, those who resist believing in that fashion has an invested interest in not believing & it usually has to do with sin (John 3:18-20). The sin may involve vices involving or just the freedom to do or be without accountability, judgment, & consequences.

To be the complete master of one's life & fate & journey w/out worry of the invisible sovereign hand that might have other ideas (1 John 2:15-17). Some of the points of resistance involves our sensibilities, but that too is sin in manifestation because by that we want God on our terms.

You've made a point earlier to someone here that God sends delusions. That is absolutely true:

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
- 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

If you continue to resist inspite of evidence after evidence, & despite warning & after warning, you will never believe as God will ensure that you will be damned.

YOU
[...] But just because there are some archaeological discoveries which mention a person or city that the Bible talks about, that doesn't mean every story in the Bible is true. Even if archaeologists found the actual city of Jericho, that doesn't mean the story in the Bible happened the way the Bible says it did.

ME
No, but each & every evidence makes it more & more likely that what is told in scripture, is true.

OBJECTIVE OPENNESS 1: Part 2

YOU
That's not necessarily true. If somebody makes up a story and then points to something which they say proves the story is true and they do that over and over, that still doesn't mean the story is true.

ME
No, Octavia. This is what I've said:

"No, but each & every evidence makes it more & more likely that what is told in scripture, is true."

The more evidence a worldview has, the more likely it is for it to be true.

OBJECTIVE OPENNESS 1: Part 1

YOU
Yes, I care about what's true [...] If you have a discussion with an atheist and walk away unconvinced that they are right, does that mean you were never really searching for truth in the first place?

ME
No, not when that is all you do. You can claim that it is simply putting their truth to the test, but when you've been debating Christian for these many years.

I know that whenever you come to me you rarely acknowledge anything that may be true, but always leave whenever it seemed that you prevailed not. You come back, & do it again. This has been happening every time I meet you for the past 3 years, & that is only 3 of the 6 years you've been on ImgFlip.

This is not a behavior of one who is honestly searching for truth, but rather a person who just wants to debate. And right now, you've just told me that those stories are obviously mythological... those are not words from one seeking answers but only to prove the other wrong.

YOU
I don't believe God exists but I also don't believe that there is no accountability or consequences for my actions. I am accountable to all the people around me because I have to share this society with other people, and what I do affects them.

ME
But no eternal consequences hereafter. Without God you know you can commit acts of unkindness to anyone without being seen, & you will not account for it. You can live a life of philandering, be stuck up if you’re rich & powerful, & troll people online & you will not worry about facing God in judgment.

In any case, people do not want to be ruled. Sure, they’ll tolerate kings so long as they’re not greatly taxed, or forced into slavery, but to have a moral entity dictating what is or isn’t good is a personal intrusion; that while one can J-walk, create Moonshine, or buy & store pirated DVDs, one cannot hide from God.

YOU
Is it a bad thing to want to take control of my own life? Isn't that what a responsible adult does?

ME
It is if the deed or choice of life is evil in God’s sight.

YOU
So that means he is ultimately to blame if I am deluded, if he is the cause of that delusion.

ME
Look at you, you’re just asking if it is so as if you’ve never seen the reasons why He would do so. It is as though you’re just waiting for me to say yes so you can run away with it and tell other Christians how evil the God of the Bible is.

That's your opinion, but there still can be archeological evidence for them.
