A Better Basis For Belief?

Faith in the Bible does not hinge on what scientists say. When their advancing knowledge comes ever closer to conforming to the Bible, that does not make them become Christians.
No,they still cling to their religion of evolution. Faith does not depend on the archaeologists for establishment either.
Their discoveries merely confirm what the Bible has always said, but this confirmation does not convert them to Christianity. And when there is an apparent clash between the Bible and the interpretation they place upon a find, they lean toward their own understanding and not the Bible. (Prov. 3:5)
Science and archaeology are not essentials. They may serve a purpose in bringing infidels and atheists to their senses and cause them to examine the Bible more seriously, but faith should not be dependent upon such studies of science and archaeology for its foundation.

This is exactly the way rational people behave. Why would scientists even look for answers if the answers were already in the bible?
I'm still waiting for scientific proof of witches, angels, demons and dragons.

I know vulcan...I'm the same. I read his daft ramblings and think...what drivel. But I do find myself arguing nevertheless. Of course, I wouldn't dream of arguing face-to-face on the doorstep, as JWs go to the same training school as PPI Salesmen ! I think they have magic powers.
In the 1950's, my Mum, much against her better judgement, invited some JWs into her house, mid morning. They were still there when my Dad came home from work at 17:00. I was as but a small child and I had gone unfed that day. My Dad sized up the situation in about 3 seconds and threw them out, none to gently I remember.
Never, ever let these into your house. They are more difficult to get rid of than nits.

Well Just in one the case of the evolutionary scientists, the higher critics have been forced to retreat from former positions by the advance of knowledge, particularly knowledge unearthed by archaeologists.
During the nineteenth century the higher-critic scoffers were loud in their denunciation of the Bible’s position that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, one of their arguments against it being that writing was unknown at the time of Moses.
When they had to give ground on this point they did so grudgingly, and arbitrarily said that even if writing was known it was not widely used and Moses did not know the art. But further discoveries made the rout of the higher critics complete. Now it is acknowledged that writing was widespread in Abraham’s time, that it was used by not only adults but children, whose textbooks have been found.
There were writing was known before the Noachian flood. Clay tablets with writing on them go back to the fourth millennium before Christ, reaching into the life span of Adam. In fact, archaeology indicates that Adam wrote, and along with others such as Noah, Shem, Isaac and Jacob provided written documents from which Moses compiled the book of Genesis, and you probably say so what.
But they may serve a purpose in bringing infidels and poor atheists to their senses and cause them to examine the Bible more seriously, as some do.
