​@@roerich1848 Who is Dr Falk? And what evidence does he offer to make that conclusion? Collins has been doing archeology for decades and has the only certified college of biblical archeology in the US. The evidence that Tall el Hammam is Sodom is overwhelming and is being accepted by the archeological community as more and more evidence is found. It is in the right place, north of the Dead Sea on the plain of the Jordan. Exactly where the bible cleary says it should be. Tehep is also in the right time. And Tehep also has exactly what one would expect to find after the destruction of Sodom. Right place, Right time, and Right stuff. And there is no other site that fits the biblical narrative of Sodom.

@@nahshon9998 _”Collins is a certified archeologist”_ at time stamp of the video 7:57, he says the temperature exceeds 6,000 degrees Celsius…… Do you even know what that means? It is literally one of the most scientifically illiterate things I’ve ever heard, THE SURFACE OF THE SUN is 5,500 degrees Celsius, at HALF that temperature, the city as well as the region would melt into a puddle…. This alone should suffice enough that your “certified archeologist” wouldn’t be able to tell his reflection in the mirror, let alone be certified for anything. Plus, you saying Collins is the ONLY one who is “certified” for the field of biblical archeology just goes to show how the majority of others believe that what the Bible says and actual archeological findings couldn’t be any more different and rarely correlate, for example, no archeologist or scholar believes that the origin of different languages started because God punished the Babylonians for building the tower of Babel.

[@faisalsukhtian1932]

@@nahshon9998 of course all you have is empty rhetoric with little substance or sources, examples include the fact that in the video, it was not a physician who made the claim about the outrageous temperature, but Collins himself, as well as the fact that just by simply doing the most bare minimum of research concerning this topic, you would find the majority of sites, both respected and shady, have their doubts about this finding(with the exception of Christian one’s of course), which would indicate that there is no unanimous agreement as you claim as well. It’s pretty obvious that you only go to biased sources only to reaffirm your own belief’s and promote intellectual dishonesty, saying that every “biblical archeology” has been uncovered is just simply wrong, and I think deep down you know that too, have they found Babel? Do linguists agree that different languages started because God punished Babylon for building Babel? Noah’s ark? I challenge you to find these “findings” in a neutral source and not one that is clearly biased. Speaking of biased, please do research on which University Collins comes from and see their guidelines, a Christian college that refuses to hear any criticism and label those who do as bullies, because of course Christians do love their prosecution complex….

A few "tiny" issues. Supposedly, Sodom was destroyed just 11 generations after the Biblical Flood killed all but 8 people on Earth. To get even 500,000 on Earth by this time would have required population expansion 1000 percent faster than the speed of what archaeologists believe was possible at this time! But strangely, there are over 500,000 a bodies at Bab Ed-Dhra from this period alone already. Tall El-Hammam may have been destroyed by a meteor like the one in Siberia recently, but people who have no clue about the science of such events were likely to make up a supernatural tale to explain its occurrence. There is a geography fail according to Bill Shlegel -- Biblical literalist -- the Biblical text does not actually fit the geography of Tall el-Hammam. But more problematically, there is a chronology fail. Eugene Merrill (Biblical Literalist) states that for Tall El-Hammam to be Sodom one must deny all of the Biblical Dates before the time of the judges. Even Christian excavators say the site of Tall El-Hammam shows signs of continuous occupation going back 2500 years before the date of its destruction... but... there was a flood that killed all but 8 human beings just 11 generations before that. People were flourishing here at least a couple of hundred years before Young Earth creationists claim the Earth was created. ALl kinds of problems for a literal interpretation of the Bible here.

The end of the ice age suddenly becomes Noah’s flood, an earthquake taking down the Ziggurat of Eridu becomes God smiting down the Tower of Babel, and the flooding of a popular settling area where the Red Sea is today, becomes the banishment from Eden. These people were describing situations in the only way they truly knew how. With legends, gods, spirits, and myths. This doesn’t mean, suddenly, that God is real.

[@jonathanmarkoff4469]

@@INFINITUMSPIRIT Archaeology is a double-edged sword. If it can prove the Bible, it can also disprove it, and once Christians have brought it up in support of their doctrines, they cannot then discard it as soon as its conclusions become inconvenient to them. And in recent decades, as more evidence emerges, it has turned increasingly against them. A more complete picture of the history of ancient Israel has surfaced, one that brings out in sharp relief which parts of the Old Testament are historical and which parts are not. The Exodus may represent a distorted folk memory of Egypt and the Hyksos. Sometime between 2000 and 1500 BC, the possibly Semitic people called Hyksos “invaded” Egypt. It was more like a mass immigration than a military conquest, but they managed to wind up running the place somehow, until the Egyptians rose up and forcibly expelled the Hyksos. The Judeans of the 640-609 BC time frame, aka the Josianic Era (ie when King Josiah reigned) had a dim memory of this, and had a love-hate relationship with Egypt, which was alternately an ally and enemy of Judah. Many Judeans emigrated to Egypt to look for work, much as the Hyksos had 1000 years earlier. The Judean priests then made up a story by combining the ancient fact of the Hyksos with the modern politics of Judah. It introduced Joseph and his brothers, and basically said that the ancestors of the Judeans were the Hyksos who had lived in Egypt. During the reign of Josiah, who attempted to conquer the land north of Judah, which was formerly the kingdom of Israel, the priests came up with the idea that Israel and Judah had once been a united kingdom, with Judah’s own heroes David and Solomon ruling the place from Jerusalem. They attributed several lavish cities and monuments in Israel and Judah to these two, but in reality these monuments were built in Israel about 100 years after the time of Solomon, and they were built by King Omri’s family. During the Babylonian Exile, the captive priests added a new wrinkle to the Egypt story. The Hebrews had been slaves in Egypt until they revolted with divine assistance, and made a great Exodus to the Promised Land of Canaan, which became the lands of Israel and Judah. The problem is, the Exodus can only have happened in the window of 1500-1200 BC, and throughout that time Canaan was an Egyptian province, full of Egyptian peacekeeping troops. The slaves would have only been running from one Egypt to another. What happened is, the priests writing the story treated Egypt with the geography it had during the Josianic Era. This is reflected in the Joseph story, where the Egyptian vizier accuses the Israelite immigrants of being spies from the east, whereas at the time they would have been from a land which Egypt already owned. All the Egyptian cities mentioned in Genesis and Exodus existed in the Josianic Era, but most of them were founded after the latest possible date for the Exodus. It would be as if someone wrote a story where King James sent John Smith to America, and Smith checked in at the ports of Boston, New York, and Washington. The reference in Exodus that Hebrew slaves built the city of Ramesses has created the impression (popularised by Hollywood, so let it be written, so let it be done) that Ramses II was the Pharaoh of the Exodus, or perhaps the Pharaoh of the Oppression. We know that his son Merneptah wrote a letter in 1207 BC telling how he had defeated Israel among a list of Canaanites, so the Exodus must be before then if it really happened. The Exodus pointedly refuses to name the Pharaohs in its story, presumably because the writers didn’t know the names of any Pharaohs in the relevant time period. Jericho and other Canaanite cities did not have walls at the time, as they were in a fairly peaceful Egyptian province. The great ruins of Canaanite cities were not made all at one time, but are from numerous invasions in different centuries. Some were destroyed by Greek pirates, not Joshua’s Israelites. Abraham’s story is similarly full of anachronisms, like referring to the province of Dan and the presence of Philistines.

I think this explanation fits much better, but I never was able to confirm or deny that about directions in the ancient Levant

Considering Lots wife, I've head that the phrase "turned into a pillar of salt" is actually a idiom for dying of fear, because the person turns white like salt. It's theorised that when she looked back the sight of what was happening it caused such fear that she died instantly. It's an interesting perspective. And provides a naturalistic explanation. Though I don't know if it is true that it is an idiom.

Wherever, natural oil deposits are found so is sulphur in its pure form. It is also abundant wherever volcanic activity took place. It's the tenth most abundant element in the universe.

[@ChipsAplentyBand]

If Wyatt’s sub-Masada site’s destruction can be chronologically correlated with the destruction at the Tel el-Hammam site north of the Dead Sea then it’s possible they BOTH mark the same meteoric event. A high sulfur-content meteor already ablaze and dripping a spray of molten sulfur behind it down onto the ground below could have passed over Wyatt’s site first then continued on the remaining 35 miles northeast as the crow flies to ‘detonate’ over the northern site, where the debris field blast pattern reportedly indicates the meteor indeed approached from the southwest. I’ve speculated myself that the high purity of the sulfur nodules found at Wyatt’s site may be due to the meteor involved in this event having been a chunk of surface material blasted off of Jupiter’s moon Io at some point in the past by a prior meteoric event there. That chunk would have had to escape the Jovian system and found its way eventually to Earth, etc. Tidally stressed/heated by its close orbit around Jupiter, Io has volcanoes erupting various allotropes of sulfur onto its surface at the present time, and those allotropes are apparently what gives Io’s surface its characteristic “diseased piece of fruit” (Carl Sagan’s words) appearance. It would be interesting to see if some future robotic sample-collection mission to Io could verify a match in the purity/chemical profile of the surface sulfur there with that of the sulfur nodules found at Wyatt’s site below Masada. Not likely to happen, but it would be interesting to do such a comparison.

@@dominicpardo4783 I hope you'll notice that I made no statement supporting Ron Wyatt's claim to have found Sodom and/or Gomorrah at the site below Masada. I personally think the Tel el-Hammam site northeast of the Dead Sea is a FAR better candidate for their location, both in terms of the biblical text and in terms of the physical evidence laid out in Dr. Collins' book, which I have read. When I referenced the Wyatt site I did so to talk about the presence of the sulfur nodules found there. My point was that finding that high purity sulfur in that location is ALSO CONSISTENT with a meteoric event in which the meteor approached from the southwest direction, which was Dr. Collins' own proposal for how the cities were destroyed. So my comment was posted in support of Dr. Collins' meteoric event explanation for the destruction of S & G, and was not posted as 'cheerleading' for Mr. Wyatt's choice of site for either/both cities. A crucial piece of the puzzle that's still missing, so far as I know, is whether the site below Masada and the presence of its sulfur nodules dates to the same time period as the destruction at Tel el-Hammam or not. If you know of information that bears on that question I would be interested to examine it.

There are other potential sites besides the two mentioned at the beginning of the video. But we know that at least four cities were destroyed, and we don't know exactly how close together they were. Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim. It is also likely that a fifth city, Zoar is among the ruins. So even if the site in the video isn't Sodom, we still have at least three or four possibilities, which would all point to the same event. This could be Admah. Or Zeboiim. Whichever, the story in Genesis is proven true! I want to also briefly point out that "left" and "right" in middle eastern reckoning (and Hebrew is particular) mean "north" and "south." In modern times we are used to thinking of north as "up." But that wasn't always so. Originally, east was up; the direction of the rising of the sun, and also the direction of the spin of the earth. East = forward; West = behind; North = left; South = right.

Responding to the issues raised by @YoungyVidz below: "The existence of real events does not prove the supernatural elements or the theological message" -- But is this proof that the 'supernatural' aspect of the story is false? I expect you would say, 'no, not necessarily.' We agree then. "The fact that it (possibly) is an accurate account of natural phenomena in no way validates its supernatural claims" -- But is this state of affairs proof that the 'supernatural' claim is false? Again, i expect your response is 'no, not necessarily.' We again agree. "The supernatural claim will always be less likely than a naturalistic claim" - Or are you really saying this, 'no supernatural claim is ever true, ergo, all supernatural claims are false--including the story of God's judgment on Sodom'. Is this REALLY what you're saying if you're being forthright about it? Let's take a closer look: 1. The Bible talks about the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah - Say, this is more true than not. 2. The Bible gives accurate locations where the cities are located - Say, this is more true than not. 3. The Bible says that both cities were destroyed by a cataclysmic event - Data suggests more true than not. 4. The biblical narrative says that it's due to the judgment of God. Now, say 1, 2, and 3 are more true than not (more or less accurate/consistent with the facts/available data). What do we do with #4? This is where one's a priori worldview commitments play a critical epistemic role. >A committed naturalist (put here hardcore secularist, atheist, antitheist, et al), even if he fully agrees with 1, 2, and 3, of course would conclude #4 as utterly false, even without any analysis of the argument! Why? Simply because God and the supernatural are utterly outside of his plausibility structure and therefore epistemologically and ontologically unacceptable--ANY explanation is better than God and the supernatural (no matter how highly unlikely that explanation is). This is a species of 'paradigm dictating on the data/argument', ie., the axiom will simply dismiss any and all ideas outside of its rigid, illegitimate boundary. But this is a fallacy. A truly intellectually honest position (consistent with the spirit of genuine science, philosophical inquiry, and human curiosity) would be open to where evidence (from other relevant fields of inquiry that will have bearing on the truthfulness, or lack of, of the biblical account) points to--supernatural or not. I recall a professor, who was a committed naturalist-atheist, once said to his students in class, 'Even if i see a limb grow right before my very eyes--like a complete leg growing in a matter of seconds right in front of me--i will still reject the miraculous. I will always look for a natural explanation.' Well, sure prof. It's a free country.

You're making a lot of leaps. The point of saying "The presence of X does not prove supernatural intervention" is not an attempt to disprove the claims of supernatural intervention, it is to point out that you are making a substantial jump. Second of all, saying "Natural explanations are more likely than supernatural events" is not equivalent to saying "supernatural events don't happen". That's a blatant strawman. It's stating that we have demonstrable and verifiable evidence of the natural, and only inferences based on burned down cities and ancient texts for the supernatural. Furthermore, I'm willing to bet that some part of the documentation of the site was misrepresented to a degree, to leave out aspects which contradict. Like the fact that the city has signs of occupation for 2000 years prior, which would merge with Noah's flood. If we're looking at all the evidence, one has to go.

[@deadendlanecreations2779]

@Jim Hibbits have you taken statistics, or are you just repeating something cool you've heard from other cool people of which you associate? You are dismissing the placebo effect. Statistics is science. Or, in psychology, things such as Baader-Meinhof phenomenon exist. See, even if I weren't a believer, I'd be careful not to lump "everything" into "nothing" without seeking all scientific data first. Because now, psychologically you'll KNOW people are praying for you. How will your mind interpret this? Good day, sir. We'll be praying.

[@deadendlanecreations2779]

​@Jim Hibbits yes, sir! It sure was. lol This, economics and geology {carbon dating equations}. In a lot of religion, people want to categorize events as happening solely by the hand of the creator. However, meteors or earthquakes or other natural disasters were found to be the culprits in a lot of the biblical cataclysms. Some argue the biblical aged minds were unable to explain natural disasters, so they "made up" the existence of gods or God to give reason or purpose behind these events, as humans are inherently superstitious and fearful of the unknown. So, I'll take a different approach. Outliers. Science can explain so much of our creation. But what doesn't fit within the paradigms of history or rules of nature, we lump into categories such as force majeure or call them outliers. Though they may not be as plentiful, they must still be calculated as part of the whole equation. I also see people forgetting the basic definition of science and it's methods, which define what MUST occur to make a true statement. Rather than berate anyone for their beliefs in God, I ask that you remember the outliers. They aren't wrong. They just don't fit within the value range to calculate averages, statistically speaking.

A few "tiny" issues. Supposedly, Sodom was destroyed just 11 generations after the Biblical Flood killed all but 8 people on Earth. To get even 500,000 on Earth by this time would have required population expansion 1000 percent faster than the speed of what archaeologists believe was possible at this time! But strangely, there are over 500,000 a bodies at Bab Ed-Dhra from this period alone already. Tall El-Hammam may have been destroyed by a meteor like the one in Siberia recently, but people who have no clue about the science of such events were likely to make up a supernatural tale to explain its occurrence. There is a geography fail according to Bill Shlegel -- Biblical literalist -- the Biblical text does not actually fit the geography of Tall el-Hammam. But more problematically, there is a chronology fail. Eugene Merrill (Biblical Literalist) states that for Tall El-Hammam to be Sodom one must deny all of the Biblical Dates before the time of the judges. Even Christian excavators say the site of Tall El-Hammam shows signs of continuous occupation going back 2500 years before the date of its destruction... but... there was a flood that killed all but 8 human beings just 11 generations before that. People were flourishing here at least a couple of hundred years before Young Earth creationists claim the Earth was created. ALl kinds of problems for a literal interpretation of the Bible here.

[@andrewharper1609]

No. As I said to another person just because some historical fact turns out to be accurate doesn't make a book of historical fiction true. After all is Harry Potter true because Kings Cross station exists? We're talking about a book that makes claims of Golem spells, a flat earth, geocentrism, talking snakes and donkeys, known myths like the book of Daniel and an exaggerated local flood narrative from Shirupak. Certain key claims it makes like created kinds of animals just aren't true (Linnaeus was a churchman who pointed out that the archaeology didn't match up and would the scientists please come up with a reason why). The book of Daniel calls Cyrus a Mede (he was a Persian) and gets the name of Belshazzar's father wrong which is why both the book and the character of Daniel are attributed mythical status. They found the ritual bath associated with the Temple in Jerusalem too but it's existence doesn't prove either that Jesus existed or that he died for our sins. Crucifixion was a Roman execution method so it follows that if he was killed that way it was because he pissed the Romans off not to redeem humanity's sins. The correct way to think about the Bible is a bit like Grimm's fairy tales that even omit certain key points about the person like a Hollywood biopic. It's a collection of folk stories from antiquity and little else. The characters may have resembled or been based upon the lives of real people but certain aspects get embellished because people like to add to stories and people attribute virtues to their heroes they may not have. The original Pentateuch was compiled by Jewish scholars over about a century and a half. By that time the Shirupak flood (about 1000 years earlier) had morphed into the Noarchian one. By the time of the printing press over 33,000 transcription errors had crept in. And that's without the editing process the council of Nicea and others engaged in.
