All too often the Bible is ridiculed as nonsense, and that it has ZERO historical value.

I don't believe that for one moment, but, so many people always ask for proof. Of course, when it's offered, it too is dismissed. But, here i go, yet again, trying.

The Hittites were inly ever mentioned in the Old Testament, but had no histaoric basis outside of that. Not until recently, that is.

Evidence: http://www.specialtyinterests.net/hittites.html

Let me have it with both barrels!
Tell me what nonsense this is, also!

  Over 60 excavation campaigns have been conducted but much work still needs to be done. While interesting finds were made, so far archaeologists were unable to find the royal tombs or the cemetery of Hattusha. Until these are found, there is a painful lack of confirmation of lengthy king lists touted to be accurate
  
  So - from the lead you supply it says that the inflated and imaginary claims of some missionary in 1800+something that the tablets he saw represent the Hittite empire are still yet to be proven.
  
  Did you actually read this stuff before you put it up as some kind of support for your argument ?

  Not only this, but some parts of the Bible being historically accurate doesn't make the entire document true. If I travel forward two thousand years into the future with a copy of Harry Potter and say, "Look, there's a train in this book! Just like there was in those days! As foretold in the Prophecy!" it doesn't mean wizards actually exist.

  You hit the nail on the head.
  The question that comes to mind then, is,
  "just how much of it's historical accuracy needs to be validated, before the rest can be taken as fact, true, accurate, or reliable"?
  20%, 30%, 50%? I doubt there would be more than 50% of all it's contents that would fall in the category of verifiable via archaeology.

  You make a good point. To put your percentages another way, What percentage of the Bible must be shown to be inaccurate before the whole thing could be shown as historically inaccurate; 80% 70% or 50% ?

  Even if 20-50% of material in the bible can be proven as authentic, you would still have 50-80% BS such as magic, zombies, and Gods. Harry Potter is a book with bona fide places written into the story line, does this mean it’s the genuine?

  dj - if you don't want to be ridiculed - why start threads like this? Clearly - you did not know there are references to Hittites outside the bible, you did not even bother reading the article you linked to and then offered this as some sort of proof that the majik in the bible is true.

  Now, that's not quite right.
  If the definition of testament is what it is, and we have a NEW one, it obviously supersedes the OLD one. (logical, no?) Therefore, the Jews lived under the old "testament", and WE live under the NEW one.
  So, where exactly in the NEW, does Jesus teach us to do all the stuff you(cherry picked) from the Old?

If anyone's reading this from the Uk and interested; then get on iplayer and watch "The Bible's Buried Secrets" which discusses the Bible's interpretation of real events.

Some things in the bible are based loosely on what the authors observed around them, but the majority is myth. It's not really the authors' faults; they had to work to an agenda and had some pretty sketchy facts to go on with a lot of what they wrote - often where the things they noted took place hundreds of years before...

  I watched with great interest and believe what's-her-face raised some very good points on the probable spinning up of King David in episode 1 and the early polytheism of the Semitic people in episode 2. However the Garden of Eden argument was not well presented and not particularly convincing. Her whole argument was based upon similarities between Eden and some excavated remains of similar gardens, but she ignored all of the Hebrew text which did not agree with her. Sure it's hard to compress an alternative theory into an hour's programme, but it didn't sound like she was being objective.

  Well actual there isn't any verification that he existed, much less died. Now if we are reading the fables in the bible, then yes the character Jesus died on the cross and with his death animal sacrifices were deleted.

  Jesus's existence does not depend on Bible or its fables.

  Histroy does not mention names of all the people born in the world; similarly Bible does not record all the events truthfully and correctly.

  History begs to differ. Famous and people of importance have been recorded both in birth and in death. Even people of importance around the character Jesus purposive birth. Like Herod the Great or Caesar.

  History recorded the rulers and the kings; Jesus was only a son of a carpenter*; history of those times did not consider him important enough.
  
  *In Mark 6:3, Jesus is called a tekton (τέκτων in Greek), usually understood to mean carpenter. Matthew 13:55 says he was the son of a tekton.[Mk 6:3][Mt 13:55][43]:170

  Jesus was supposed to be the King of Jews and a miracle worker. His life/death would have been recorded. With that said there exists little in the way of historical documentation for Jesus' life beyond the Biblical Gospels. The earliest so called witness would have been 40 plus years after the alleged death of Jesus. The lack of evidence makes it very difficult to discern actual historical facts behind the Christian stories that describe him.

  If history fails or misses to record accounts of life of a person; that does not mean that the person did not exist at that time for sure. Does it?

  No it does not. But surly the KING OF JEWS and a HALF GOD who healed the sick and banned demons would have been well documented. Wouldn't it?

  Not documented by the history; otherwise you would have not said that Jesus did not exist.
  
  These titles were later written by the anonymous scribes in the Bible; not necessarity part of the history.
  
  Jesus did exist however; if the history did not record or failed to record or missed to record that does not matter. History does not claim to be perfect. Does it?
