Science has, on many, many occasions served to shut down certain critics of religion and religious history. In particular, the Old Testament of the Christian Bible (based on the Jewish Torah) and the New Testament have been the target of naysayers, atheists, and Leftist revisionist historians for centuries. With the advent of modern technology and scientific theory and exploration, archaeological excavation has uncovered corroborating evidence time and time again that clarified and verified long-held assertions by Jews and Christians that the books of the Bibles (both Jewish and Christian) are accurate and true histories of what has already occurred in ages past.
If you’re like me, you enjoy a good documentary. There are literally thousands out there on any given subject. Some of the really enjoyable ones are those that take no particular biased opinion, but work from the standpoint of a person simply trying to discover truth. I used to be a fan of the History Channel until I actually began to research subject matter myself. Then, the ugly truth emerged and that was that the History Channel, A&E, Discovery, National Geographic, etc., etc., were all on the same page as far as developing a storyline and delivering the finished product. Number one, it has to be marketable. Can’t make money without someone wanting to watch it and without advertisers interested in sponsoring that show. Number two, it has to be controversial or provocative. For obvious reasons, you don’t want a real draw-out boring program (see Number one above). And Number three, it has to have a slight, extreme or radical Leftist slant. This is key in the packaging of these shows because of the types of people involved in the production, the actors who bring the stories to life, and the sponsors who follow trends based on social media and sales statistics.
For this reason, I completely avoid all the Liberal trappings of the documentaries which pretend to be about “exposing the truth” about history, particularly when it comes to anything that happens to be sacred to Christians or is deeply ensconced in identity politics or racial inequality. If you’ve ever gone on Netflix to watch a documentary about, say, the Book of Genesis, you’d be sadly mistaken to believe that this will be an in-depth study of the Book of Genesis. Rather (as becomes quickly apparent during your viewing of the show) the program is out to disprove the Book of Genesis in one way or another. They usually approach the subject matter from several different angles, all exposing the “lies or half-truths of the men who wrote the Book.” And this is a pattern with practically 100% of the so-called documentaries. The information is there to test your faith, to see if you’re actually paying attention to scripture and not to the flashy, state-of-the-art computer graphic renderings of the construction of Solomon’s Temple or the Exodus from Egypt.
Once again, science has come to the rescue and facts bear out more evidence that the Bible should be taken at its literal word rather than in mystical metaphors and allegory. Read on the following page about the amazing new DNA evidence direct from Egypt that will shut the mouths of condescending Liberals…at least temporarily. An extraordinary finding!
Yeah right. B******t.
This story is nothing more than a conservative viewpoint of trying to make a case that Science is leftist while the bible is the only truth. The writer of that story has totally twisted the scientific evidence to prove a Republican viewpoint. Science is neither liberal or conservative. It is science pure and simple. The origins of the Ancient Egyptians has already been proven that “they” as well as the Mesopotamians are the same people. No different than the Jews and Arabs are also genetically the same Semitic peoples and many of them also share the same Y-DNA and mtDNA genetic markers with many of the populations along the Mediterranean basin. The bible does have some historical truths unfortunately intertwined with religious and mythological beliefs from the area. The story of the Hebrews and the Canaanites describes inter-tribal warfare because they are the same people. The difference being the Jews came out on top of that regional war so they got to write the story of Jericho. Eventually, the Jews were toppled by another tribe called the Babylonians. Here’s an example of the case being made that Sephardi Jews are a separate people from the rest of the Jews but the science of genetics shows otherwise: https://ethnicgenome.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/the-race-of-sephardic-jews/
Sorry for this but The Bible is neither left or right. it is Gods Word.
B******t
Mark Owens your a fool. The bible is written by man and changed by man how many times to fit their beliefs.

Most of the English translation of the bible, both Old and New Testament from the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek is vastly different than the original languages too.
And there are many accounts written at the same time which contradict the OT and NT is key ways but the powerful church, mainly at the council of nice a decided those contradictions shouldn’t be included in the bible.
Sorry.
But the bible is flawed. Like it or not, humankinds need for religious control of the masses ensures the bible is only, AT BEST, part of the truth.
And science is verifiable through repeated experimentation as well. So there’s that.
Jayden Campbell Indeed.
Darwin Finlay Duvall Concon leave it to you. Lol
The bible may be flawed but DNA is not or every prisoner found guilty because of DNA should be freed then.
