Independent Historical Corroboration for Biblical Events

I'm curious to know (and I've asked this in many discussions elsewhere
without much luck) if anyone knows of historial writings or evidence
which corroborates any of the events of the bible.
By corroboration I mean unequivecable corroboration.I ask for this reason :: much of the conviction of creationists
against evolution, abiogenesis, etc. is founded in the belief
that the bible is a complete and accurate record of ancient
events.I would like to know if this belief has a foundation in testable
cross-corroboration, or is a matter of faith.

Look for a man named, Josephus; he lived dureing the era of Christ, he was a Roman/Jew scholar not only did he witness Jesus but he also saw the miracles Jesus had done in his lifetime. There is more out there you just have to look as I found truth through history after a long study on Science. I might add that if you want OT history you might start to look into Jewish records as they make up all of the Old Testament; then for a short time there was the Apocrphia; which is a book of Jewish histroy between OT times and NT times in the form of scripture. Also note that if you want Christian history just follow the trail of the Catholic church, they have been around since about 300ad (NEW ADVENT: Home). Peter, you might also try to compare Science outside of history or with history for that matter.

There are alot more out there but this should help. note: I dont agree with the Catholic dotrine/faith but they are a very good source for history and biblical comparison in history.

--It seems to have alot of information on different biblical implications and evidence in non-biblical documents and the like.

All of those sources are not authentic, I have read them, also remember that all of that information is just assertions/assumptions. No body knows that information to be truth unless you are a evolutionist and then you would take it for granted and make it opnion. {none of it is fact, prove to me otherwise.}

What else is there in macroevolution besides claims. I Would say his work compares to that of macroevolution, Mr Evolutionist.

p.s. beware of PaulK he plays word games, and makes the most critical assertions. Paulk I had a bunch of my athiest buddys get online and read are last debate all they could say was that you made no since and that you play word games. They are athiest and into evolution. Yes I have friends that are of this nature but they think you are funny.

p.s. why dont you type in liar into http://www.dictionary.com and read its defintion it does not fit my character. note: I dont go into a debate lieing to you in order for you to believe me. I went into the debate being honest with my knowledge and I said at one point I didn't think it was impressive then at another point I said it was cool. Then you went into how I was being a hypocrit or trying to make me out to be a liar when actually I was simply cought in making a mistake. Note maybe I dont have the best understanding of words. Maybe I am not the best person for debating; as that was just about first time I have debated anything regarding Science/History/Creation on this level and the first mistake I make you turn me into a liar. That is not true. Of course you might try to make me into a liar again for missunderstanding what happend as you may have a different outlook on it. You need to understand that some people dont need the benefit of the doubt, and I thank you for giving me such; but in that case I am a newb to debating. Remember that; and sometimes I may not be clear.

My question is, how authentic is that information on that link.-Quiz

Well even if they are it does not really matter as I dont need Josephus to agree with Christ as the messiah there are other reasons.-Quiz
