Countless times I have heard ‘well archaeology confirms everything in the Bible, look at the Hittites!’ I swear if I hear about the Hittites and the Bible again I will scream LOL.
You travel in a strange crowd. I'm 58. I've been an atheist for most of those years, and my interest in paleontology and archeology is almost as old. And I've never heard anyone say such a thing. Are you sure that you didn't just make it up to justify a book report?

Pretty funny CA, also pretty harsh.
There was nothing harsh intended.

Nice Google search. I did a similar search for this forum and found the topic far less attested.

I wasn't specifically talking about people at this forum, ...
One would think that a pervasive argument would have at least some representation on a board such as this, but perhaps not.
​
believe that most of the people presenting this Hittite argument simply have read it somewhere and swallowed it hook, line and sinker, they haven't taken any time to look into it.
You're no doubt right. I wouldn't know. Like I said, this is the first time I've encountered the argument.
