I cannot agree. The evidence is not overwhelming.

1. That the ancient Israelites and the ancient Canaanites were one and the same people. 2. That the Pre-Exile religion of the ancient Israelites was polytheistic, exactly the same as the Canaanites. 3. The Persians after the Exile drastically changed the Jewish language, alphabet and religion. All these things are the reality and backed up by overwhelming evidence. So if we can't agree to this then there is no point continuing the dialogue. ...Why do you have a head?

Well there is no point even starting a dialogue with you lot then is there. Nope. Truth doesn't change despite your willingness to accept it.

.1. That the ancient Israelites and the ancient Canaanites were one and the same people. No, the Canaanites were descendants of Ham, son of Noah.

Buzz can I ask you to please stop telling christians they have mental illness. It is incredibly insulting and completely untrue. We are all entitled to believe what we want without being vilified by others. you don't like it yourself so why do it to others!

People have had religion hammered into them for thousands of years, it will probably take thousands more for them to realise its all a bunch of bullshit.

Has it occurred to you that nobody wants to buy your snake oil, Buzz?
Or is it going to take another 15 thread topics for you to realize that?

You keep saying it's not worth communicating with me, and yet you continue to contradict yourself by doing so.
You're obsessed, delusional, and paranoid. And you project these symptoms of perceived illness onto anyone who disagrees with you..
There's the truth, and you can't handle it.

No. You keep telling us that, but it's not a part of mainstream archaeology, at all. It falls in the realm of meta-scholarship. Fringe science. Pseudo-archaeology. Otherwise, we would exposed by more literature than your little paperback.
You think you are the only one who wants to see the downfall of religion? There's probably pretty good reason why other more notable skeptics haven't jumped on your bandwagon.
Why don't you go and figure it out...?

My beliefs are backed up by scholars and science. Your beliefs come from a book of fairy tales written in the Persian Period by Zoroastrians. You seem to think of yourself as someone who must spread the word of Jesus. That is quite sad really. You told me you exorcised someone possessed of a demon (another Zoroastrian idea) and that alone tells me you are schizophrenic. You called yourself Apostle and that tells me you have religious delusions and your high degree of religiosity is more evidence of schizophrenia. Apostle is a give away, because the Apostle Paul, going by the NT and especially the Book of Romans was a Schizophrenic. So I think you need help. I want to stay away from you really as Schizophrenics commit between 5 and 10% of all homicides every year. You are obsessed.

Oh please - you are just pathetic. Its real science and real scholarship and real archaeology. . Laughable. If that were true, it'd be embraced by mainstream encyclopedias, and Science Textbooks.. Hey genius, Have you ever wondered why you have to "Google" to find pages that fit your assertion? And why it's never taken very seriously in any accredited venue? Keep Googling, I'm certain you'll also find "indisputable proof" that the Lunar landing never happened, and that we live on a flat earth, too. "..But people wouldn't post things on the internet if they weren't true, would they? WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?!" My God, you're naive, Buzz. There ought to be laws to keep stupid people like you from researching on the internet.

Want to see what the pre-exile faith looked like - look at the Samaritans. They worshipped the one God but were not so wrapped up in the Law that they wouldn't help a fellow man in trouble, regardless of personal risk, social status or racial heritage. Come to think of it, it is a bit like what Jesus both practised and preached.

Oh please. This woman is just eye-candy from the PBS's anti-religious agenda.
Do you really think the 3 Initials behind their name somehow make them immune to error, or anti-religious bias?
"Valid criticism is based on knowledge and discernment, not unsupported speculation. However, PBS—and especially NOVA—has been known for portraying bias and partial truths in some of its past programming", As one article reads.
