"Demonstrably"
What have you demonstrated besides your ignorance? Not much.

Absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence.
You are just plain wrong. Making assertions and quoting biased "scholars', demonstrates nothing, remember? Or do your standards of proof only apply to others?

As far as Jericho is concerned, the digging has confirmed many of the biblical details, the walls did indeed collapse, and the city was subsequently destroyed by fire, and yet full grain jars were found burned. These would normally have been taken by the victors, if God had not commanded otherwise. All that, is consistent with the biblical account. The only real question remaining is the date at which this happened. If you knew anything about archaeological dating, which clearly you do not you would know that it is as much an art, as a science. One misread shard of pottery can skew a date by several hundreds of years.

No, the Jews never existed. They sprung up out of nothing, just like the universe. Not a day goes by, or a shovel is turned in the middle East, but that a new archaeological find is made that confirms the biblical account of history.

David never existed? Is that your assertion?

"I believe it's up to the claimant to prove that natural law is not so, that the universe is non-causal."

One minute you want proof that the universe is "non-causal" but when asked about the cause of the universe, suddenly you change your tune. Either matter will become eternal,(which it is "demonstrably" not), or spontaneous generation of everything from nothing will be dressed up to sound to sound like it's science. Louis Pasture would have had a good laugh about that.

So what have you have demonstrated besides your ignorance? A biased, closed mind, and a skewed view of "reality".
