Dr X I was an ancient history major. You're wrong in your interpretation of the 'nation of Israel". I never say anything I haven't thoroughly researched or been educated in. I've written thesises on these subjects. I've read numerous books on these subjects, including the subject of the Gnostic gospels (I'm counting 3 books on my shelf on the Gnostics) long before "The Da Vinci Code" and all that shit. It may come as a surprise to know that the discovery channel is not at the cutting edge of the archaelogical grapevine and I don't appreciate you charaterisation of my post. Before you insult me, your should research more thoroughly what you said about the original post. More than likely I've offended your Religious sensibilities. That and you don't like me. Therefore everything I say is either something from TV or something I've "googled".
As I've said before the "Nation of Israel" were a people, not a country. Kind David can indeed be said to have founded a Nation in that he united the tribes of Judah. But he didn't "start a country of Israel. Theres a difference.
I don't understand you sentence about the flood. As for the rest of my comments about the original post I think you are quite mistaken in your belief that the original post is true except for the wise men. I think the writer was qute correct in his interpretations in my second post on the subject. If you have arguments against it go ahead and post them. I doubt you can find any valid arguments to back up your claim on this except for more quotes from the bible.
But don't belittle my arguments in the way you have. It's baseless and unproductive. If you need to insult me then why don't you pm me and get it off your chest.
I am not going to get into a religious discussion with you. You have things to say then say them. If you are secure in your religous beliefs then nothing I have said should really hurt you. BTW, I don't know what the point of your second post was at all so I can't much comment on it if I wanted to.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
