I know you have a need to believe this.
However, when evidence has been discovered, it’s exactly the opposite ….the Bible has been verified.
For example, according to the Bible, the last ruler of Babylon was
Belshazzar, before it fell to the Persians. Although
other than the Bible, no mention of Belshazzar could be found. So of course, the naysayers (which is the majority as expected) claimed the Bible was wrong; this Belshazzar never lived. But then, in the 19th century in what is now southern Iraq, archeologists discovered some small cuneiform cylinders in ancient ruins . Among other things, they included a prayer for the health of the son of Nabonidus —
Belshazzar.
I can present much more evidence vindicating the Bible’s historicity, but I’ll just post the following comment:
David Noel Freedman, Professor of Near East Studies at U. of Michigan…

….stated: “In general, however, archaeology has
tended to support the historical validity of the biblical narrative. The broad chronological outline from the patriarchs to N[ew] T[estament] times
correlates with archaeological data. . . . Future discoveries are likely to sustain the present moderate position that the biblical tradition is historically rooted, and faithfully transmitted, though it is not history in the critical or scientific sense.”
And there’s much more that will be found.
Counter arguments are not refutations. I keep informing you of that. I guess you keep closing your eyes.
Reference source, please. (This is a new one, to me.) Is this source biased or objective?
Last I heard, he’s still a Professor.
