“And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice. Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the

Archaeological dating methods can be divided in two categories, relative and absolute dating. Relative dating in archaeology presumes the age of an artefact in relation and by comparison, to other objects found around it. Limits for relative dating are that it cannot provide an accurate year or a specific date of use, it is a more subjective approach. A more precise and accurate archaeology dating system is known as absolute dating and can in most circumstances provide a calendar year to an object

Many people find it hard to believe that the Bible is based on true events and is reliable. People do not believe that there is real evidence that the Bible is true. Therefore, they do not trust the history written in the Bible. For example, Thomas Paine was one of many who believed that the Bible is not a reliable source.

A common misconception in the world today is that Noah’s flood was only localized. However, archaeology shows partial skeletons of animals found in deep fissures in many parts of the world. These fissures occur in hills from 140-300 feet high, which supports the Bible’s report of the flood being worldwide. Another example of a supported biblical report in Genesis is found in Genesis 36:20. In this verse, the Horites are mentioned in the genealogy of Esau. They were believed to be cave-dwellers because

leaps in its understanding of science and its methods. Our species became fascinated with quantifying and measuring the universe with pin-point accuracy. Taking things apart until they could see an object’s elemental components. Huge advances in archaeology, geology, biology, physics and chemistry took place. Books on these various subjects in science poured forth from this era, perhaps one of the most shining examples of this epoch
