Come on that is always the best way, isn't it? Saves you from that nasty activity called "thinking" or "wondering"

That's a different point than the one you made earlier but that's OK. I would agree with your new point where it applies, but the problem is that there are plenty of artifacts being uncovered that "DO" directly attest to the accuracy of the Biblical narrative. Those are the ones I'm interested in. There is of course a great deal of subjectivity, and conjecture with regards to interpretation of artifacts, but that is hardy unique to Biblical Archaeology. If you want to see true maters of manipulating data to suit preconceived theories one need only look at the field of Darwinian fossil fakery for a good laugh. When the facts are away, the Professors will play. Talk about creative writing.:) The bottom line is that the basic facts of the Biblical narrative are substantially validated by the basic and clear findings of archaeology. No other religious tradition can claim this level of historical substantiation. Certainly, the Bible has withstood a nonstop barrage of debunkers, and come through with flying colors. The Assyrians used to be listed in encyclopedia as "a mythological people, known only in the Bible" I guess we can cross that one off.
