This thread was started to prove that the pool of Siloam as written in Zachariah and John actually existed because archeologists unearthed it/found it (again), however you want to say it. Are you guys bringing up the flood and a 6 day creation as a strawman to disprove the archeological find?
People probably have gotten a little carried away here, Tal. But to be fair, you kind of opened yourself up to a wide open discussion when you implied that this discovery of evidence for a pool was
a) evidence that THIS pool was THE Pool of Siloam mention in John.
b) an indication that John is historically accurate when if true it obviously only confirms one historical location detail in John but doesn't say anything about EVENTS in the gospel story told by John.
Also, you opened the discussion with "Comments?" Perhaps you should have given more direction as to what part of this "story" you wanted people to address?
