Why would you care what an archaeologist says ? Wouldn't that be considered science ? Something you are against...facts, evidence and logical thinking. So I am guessing that archaeologist must have been on Fox news.
Actually, YOU are against facts, hard evidence, and most of all logical thinking
But that is what happens to the weaker among us... When you fall prey to what is currently socially popular and acceptable, you lose all touch with reality and the logical...

How can you dispute The Book that was written thousands of years ago over a period of 1400-1800 years with over 40 different authors
I don't recall anyone disputing the book of fairy tales that you reference. But it wasn't written by God, Jesus, or anyone else that proves that there is a creator. Nor did Dr. Seuss prove that there was a cat in a hat simply by writing about it.

Actually...it is the scientists that cannot agree on their theories
Scientists agree on plenty. The world is not flat, the earth goes around the sun, water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212. Dinosaurs existed millions of years ago, and the smartest people in the world believe in evolution and everything else I've previously mentioned.

It has been rewritten over and over to hide those crazy,violent stories that we may think is bull***t. So why should we take it seriously? Have u read the old testament ? That is a real comfort. Most have been brainwashed into thinking we need to be god fearing. But why ?? Society and science has come a long way. I can see why people believed back then...man was simple and didn't know any better. We now know about evolution so why cling to these outdated preachings? Are people to afraid to admit that after we die that is probably the end. Or is it the respectable thing to do...to believe that is. I know many people who do this every Sunday but don't believe. i know people who go just to please their boss, neighbor or friends. I have a friend who goes to church just so he recieves his inheritance from his mother who otherwise would cut him out the will. It is pathetic on both of thier ends. One would go against his principles for money and one who hold religion over his head to give it. Even in this country religion has a scummy element to it.
That is what I have always loved about Science... It is NOT black or white...it is very gray! What one scientist theororizes another can dispute
That is the beauty of science
I believe you're misunderstanding what a scientific theory is... It's not some wild guess a guy just throws out there. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses. When a theory is established it is fact until proven otherwise. Other notable theories you may have heard of are: quantum theory, Einstein's theory of relativity in physics, and cell theory.
By saying you don't believe in evolution because it's "just a theory" is equivalent to you saying that you don't believe your body has any cells because that also is just a "theory".
Many scientists have no problem believing in God and evolution, but you'd be hard pressed to find any legitimate ones that flat-out deny it.
