Many, which (again) are easily found, if you tried to look. And I don't consider hundreds (if not more), studies by people with FAR more qualificiations on the subject than you or I to be a 'sorry source' of information. But, you will not look, and continue to insist you're right due to
belief rather than fact. Just ONE reference; and scoff all you want at Wikipedia...it's the bibliography you should read/reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors...e_Bible#Isaiah
Isaiah is well covered, all three authors. And why, exactly, are they "sorry sources"?? Because you don't agree with them, or because you don't understand them?
Amazing the double-standards you apply; you say there is "mountainous debate" for what YOU agree with...but what you DISagree with is because it's done by biased skeptics.
Hundreds of man-years of research by thousands of scholars who know more about history and culture than I EVER will. The facts that these people have actually SEEN the documents, and have done extensive research on their provenance.
Oh?? Wasn't this you?
While you're *technically* correct, anyone reading what you posted certainly would not take away your 'true meaning', would they?
Sorry, but you're again wrong. Historians and archeologists enter into things with something you are apparently unfamiliar with: an open mind. They HAVE to view things objectively, and NOT let bias take over. If they do, they will not be taken seriously in their chosen profession, and (most likely), not be ABLE to work in those fields. EVERYTHING has to be researched, documented, and as close to certain as they can get it, before any publishing takes place. Science is not for speculation...that's why its science. Speculation and belief are checked at the door for any serious scientist or scholar.
Again, you're wrong.
YOU have a 'view'...the rest of us have what actually IS fact. Documented, tangible facts. Saying they're not true because it's inconvenient for you, or it makes you uncomfortable, doesn't make them lies. Wave your arms all you like...it doesn't make it so. If you're going to argue about a topic, you need to have
FACTS...not belief or bias. Facts don't need to be proven...they ARE. Saying the sky is blue isn't a 'view' or 'belief'...it's a fact, and one that can be proven.
