		<description><![CDATA[I understand what you are trying to say, however nuclear weapons only affect a relatively small area. All the nuclear weapons going off at once simply will not damage that much of the earth and life will come back at ground zero relatively quickly, and places away from ground zero will be relatively unharmed. Yes there will be some fallout, but most of the earth will not be affected.
Even just a few blocks from ground zero during the Hiroshima and Nagasaki explosions people survived. Yes they were relatively small bombs I understand, but the effects of a nuclear war have been highly exaggerated.
Natural disasters cause much more damage. A super volcano, for example, would cause many problems than nukes ever could.]]></description>

They believe that Jesus was torn from the cross and consumed by a pack of wild animals (dogs), and his bones scattered about the area, thus the reason(s) for his never been found....or something to that extent. Even an atheist has to LHAO to that one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps this article should be subtitled, &quot;Faith Needs to Trump Evidence&quot;.

Biblical archeology is naturally fraught with all sorts of presuppositions, since much of it was established with the aim of showing the Bible as a reliable historical document. A century-and-a-half on after intensive digs were started, we can&#039;t claim that the Bible is 100% accurate in its historical claims. Further the absent evidence of some of the more fantastical tales (The Exodus) puts their historicity in question. Those who cling to ossified and unyieldingly literal interpretations of Old Testament accounts are basing their beliefs on emotional and theological appeals, rather than sound science.

That said, it is not fair to make claim that because an ancient Israel did not exist as told in the Bible, it follows that the modern state of Israel is thus illegitimate. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for this article.  The impression I get from the Bible-as-history deniers (for lack of a better term) is that they would prefer if Shaarayim quietly disappeared.  There will probably come a grudging acceptance that David might have been more than a small-time local chieftain. But now every Judge from Ehud to Eli will need a hill dug up for them.  (Sigh) I think I&#039;ll just believe the Bible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As for Garfinkel&#039;s Qeiyafa=Shaarayim equation, it is very, very unlikely because (though a farm has been found SW of the site), the main portion of Qeiyafa (the circular fort with the gates) was unoccupied in the 7th century BC (when the Joshua 15 list was composed, as &lt;a href=&quot;http://books.google.com/books?id=1RgRPAkLqLUC&amp;lpg=PA329&amp;pg=PA329#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;argued by Nadav Na&#039;aman&lt;/a&gt;). Also, there is no major road that leads to Qeiyafa, certainly not one the Philistines could have escaped by. For other candidates for Shaarayim, see my video on Qeiyafa at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmDuPMCzHGc#4m28s]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;It is not at all clear that the phonetically based &quot;alphabet&quot; had many precursors in Hieroglyphics or in the more demotic scripts that devolved
 upon lesser beings in ME society.  Phoenician was the first &quot;true&quot; alphabet in that it consisted primarily of phonetics.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-I&#039;m having some trouble interpreting these sentences.


Before the Phoenician alphabet (as defined by Chris Rollston), there was the proto-Canaanite script, as used at Qeiyafa, Gath, Izbet Sartah, and (apparently) the recently-discovered Ophel inscription. Before that, there was the &quot;proto-Sinaitic&quot; script used at Serabit. Aren&#039;t these scripts largely phonetic?


Also, a second Qeiyafa inscription will be announced either this year or next year. Watch for it.]]></description>
