Archaeological Trend: Biblical Authenticity

• For the last 150 years, critics have discredited the Bible's historical accuracy.
• Time after time, however, archaeology has proven Biblical statements to be true.
• While questions remain, the Bible's track record confirms its authenticity.
• The external evidence surrounding the Bible is testimony of God's inspiration.

• The majority of archaeological data from this area remains to be escavated.
• Based on this trend of historical accuracy, additional evidences can be expected.

• Archaeology & history confirm the authenticity of the Bible & the reality of God.
• Modern science, however, has largely adopted an anti-supernatural position.
• Given this premise, it has rejected any form of miracle, especially big miracles.
• Its major difficulty with the Bible, therefore, is the creation & flood.
• While archaeology supports these events, scientific models vary greatly.
• Of course, Genesis 1-9 accounts for only 0.7 % of the total content of the Bible.
• Given the harmony of the Bible & history, harmony is also expected with science.
