All history is unproven because it's just that: History. That's the beauty and function of empirical evidence.

If an insane person in New York in 2001 said they spoke with god and god was planning to smite a bunch of people, would you say 9/11 is proof?




If the towers fell because of a storm or meteor, I'd be inclined to believe it was God who did it (the guy's prophecy would have to be pretty recent for me to buy it though). But in this case, it's a bunch of mortal assjacks who're the culprits. In that essence, it's not compatible with my example. Stuff like Sodom and Gammorah, Jericho, and the meteors that hit Job's house are more allignment with what I'm saying.

All writing in the bible is essentially a story that is made up or an interpretation of events through the prism of religious belief.




OR or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or.....Maybe it's not.
