Independent Historical Corroboration for Biblical Events

Do you really want to go there?In the 400 years we've been using the scientific epistemology, we've gone to the moon, doubled or tripled lifespans, conquered diseases, and brought people together across the globe. We're this close to curing AIDS and cancer.But before that, for 1600 years, we used your epistemology, the Christian one. Hrm, what did we call that time.. oh, right. The Dark Ages.Look, if you want to play the epistemology game, that's fine. I'll be ready over here with Medicine and Technology, and you'll start the game with 1600 years of ignorance, warfare, oppression, disease, and hatred. I'll even let you move first.

Did I say there weren't? Please, by all means, show me where I did.Or are you one of those people who can't recognize an epistemology in use? Here's a hint - try to show me where Newton derived his theories about Optics from the Bible. Show me chapter and verse. Show me where in the Bible Newton based his laws of motion. Yes, of course it is. Creationists like you would have us abandon the scientific epistemology - a method of gathering knowledge by experiment and observation - with the literalist Christian epistemology - using the Bible as the ultimate source and authority on all matters on which it speaks.Well, we tried it your way for 1600 years. The results I have described above. And you seriously want to be compared with the scientific marvels of the last 400 years?
