Just because they say it dont make it so. Not all scholars agree.
Actually I was just looking around biblicalarcheology.org - yes, there is a consensus that Jesus was just a man.
There are articles trying to establish who his father might have been and such.
You're getting really out there? You dont' think William Denver is aware of ALL of the archeological finds related to the OT.
He is giving a broad scope picture of where the field currently is. Same thing with the article from Jureusalem Times.
On the same website, in this article
Is Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia?
"Mt. Sinai Covered with Smoke
HA HA, no one even knows where it really is ha ha!
Critical views
Some modern biblical scholars explain Mount Sinai as having been a sacred place dedicated to one of the Semitic deities, even before the Israelites encountered it.
[8] Others regard the set of laws given on the mountain to have originated in different time periods from one another, with the later ones mainly being the result of natural evolution over the centuries of the earlier ones, rather than all originating from a single moment in time.

Suggested locations
Modern scholars differ as to the exact geographical position of Mount Sinai,[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Mount_Sinai#cite_note-autogenerated7-8'][8] and the same has long been true of scholars of Judaism. The
Elijah narrative appears to suggest that when it was written, the location of
Horeb was still known with some certainty, as Elijah is described as travelling to Horeb on one occasion,
[25] but there are no later biblical references to it that suggest the location remained known;
Josephus only specifies that it was within
Arabia Petraea (a Roman Province encompassing modern
Jordan, southern modern
Syria, the Sinai Peninsula and northwestern
Saudi Arabia with its capital in
Petra), and the
Pauline Epistles are even more vague, specifying only that it was in
Arabia, which covers most of the south-western
Middle east.[/URL]
Ok, these mountains dont have forests. Few rare scattered trees, but no forests. So, a meteor exploding wont have much to grab and burn. This mountain has a clear barier line with a black top.
That's your bible evidence HA HA HA
Did you grow up or did you become arrogant, looking down with a snarling additude on others who dont agree with you? You dont have to answer that, just think about it.
So because I don't believe in fairy tales with mountains of evidence against them I have a "snarling additude"? Nah.
Dont tell me what i concede, ill be the one to tell you that and i most certainly dont concede. And these articles arent debunking anything, there just offering there twisted spin.
If you can't come up with anything better than charred dirt then you concede.
What's even funnier is no one really knows where this biblical story refers to?
Exactly, thats exactly what its gonna do. Just because someone has a phd and says something, dont mean crap. The trail of evidence speaks louder then what they say.
HA HA HA HA
The earliest references to
Jebel Musa as Mount Sinai or Mount Sinai being located in the present day Sinai Peninsula are inconclusive. There is evidence that prior to 100 CE, well before the Christian monastic period, Jewish sages equated Jebel Musa with Mount Sinai. Graham Davies of Cambridge University argues that early Jewish pilgrimages identified Jebel Musa as Mount Sinai and this identification was later adopted by the Christian pilgrims.
[26][27] R. K. Harrison states that, “Jebel Musa . . . seems to have enjoyed special sanctity long before Christian times, culminating in its identification with Mt. Sinai."
[28] In the second and third centuries BCE
Nabataeans were making pilgrimages there, which is indicated in part by inscriptions discovered in the area.

It appears there "work" is wrong.
Exactly my point. You are that kooky guy online who says "all the experts are wrong" as if that's actually a valid point. When ever people resort to "I'm right and all the experts are wrong" they have lost.
Perhaps the conventional archeology world will catch up.
See. It's not your silly mythology it's the entire world of scientific archeology that's wrong.
Thank you for conceding.
You can say the magic word peer review all day, it dont do nothing.
And again. You started out with wanting sources with references to exact page numbers by scholars and now it's just pure denial and "everyone is wrong except me".
Once you go irrational your done.
What do you think, I'm supposed to keep posting facts and scholarship while you sit around going "they're wrong, stupid educated people..."
You are trying to minipulate it. When you make a red herring and i answer it, you then say my comment has no place in the discussion. Thats manipulation whether you like it or not pointed out, it is what it is.
You don't seem to know what a red herring is?
I haven't manipulated anything, I really don't need to? This argument wins itself because you have no evidence.
Your the one mentioning zues, so you tell me if the scriptures of zues say he ascended on mount sinai. Or krishna.
Hmmmmm let's see:
Some modern biblical scholars explain Mount Sinai as having been a sacred place dedicated to one of the Semitic deities, even before the Israelites encountered it.
[8] Others regard the set of laws given on the mountain to have originated in different time periods from one another, with the later ones mainly being the result of natural evolution over the centuries of the earlier ones, rather than all originating from a single moment in time.
It is found in archeology. The biggest blunder of those archeologists who dont believe in the bible is there timeline is all wrong. Fix the timeline and theres loads of archeological evidence. And further more, archeology artifacts and locations dont come with a timeline date tag on it either. Keep that in mind.
What are you talking about? First "those archeologists who dont believe in the bible" is ALL THE ARCHEOLOGISTS basically?
Second, your suggesting archeologists purposely change the timeline to the WRONG TIME so the bible appears to be more true?
As if they have no idea how to date things???? The date doesn't matter, NO MYTH IS REAL.
Jesus, Romulus and whoever is never going to be found to be real no matter what "timeline" things are put in?
All you do is preach that its mythical. Your no better then some minister in a church preaching. Just you preach naturalism. You must think if you say it long enough ill get brain washed or something? Lol, think again.
No, this information isn't for you. Way back I figured out that you have no interest in approaching reality with logic and critical thinking. You just pretended you did at first with all the "give me sources and page numbers".
And yes, that was pretend. Turns out that you really don't care about science, facts or any knowledge that goes against your fantasy.
It's completely delusional to even say I'm just preaching and trying to brainwash you?
Every single thing is backed up with some type of science, facts, scholarship, logic or critical thinking.
I started out saying religion isn't backed up by logic or history and you insisted it did.
NOW you're basically saying "I don't care how much science and knowledge you throw at me". Which is a complete 180.
