> because it's a divinely written text, again, no. christianity does not claim that the bible is a divinely written text.  finding something historical or archaeological that seems to be inconsistent with the biblical text absolutely does not mean the bible has a flaw and therefore can't be true. that isn't how it works at all. that is islamic doctrine, though. they do believe that the quran is the infallible, perfect, unchanged direct words of god. so if you want to find some historical evidence that disproves part of the quran, then yeah you have totally wrecked the idea that it is perfect and unchanged and infallible divinely written text. but christianity does not make that assertion about the bible.
