No, they are not. Archeologist have debunked most of the bible as being of any historical value. Where is the evidence of slave labor in ancient Egypt? Where is the evidence for 40 year marches through the Sinai? Where is the evidence of jericho falling (they have contradictory evidence on this). I could go on and on. Where are these Fiery Flying Serpents, or the Satyrs, or the Cockatrices, or the Dragons, or the... Where is the evidence that a man called yeshua ever lived. It doesn't exist. The earliest evidence comes from more than a century after when this mythological figure ever supposedly lived. None of his great miracles made it into the histories. No mention of the hoards of dead prophets he resurrected marching through Jerusalem. No the fiction is neither credible or historical. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
