Mensa: for me, and I can only speak from my own experience, the Word of the Lord is trusted. The witness of the scientific community is yea or nay, but the Author of us all is the underpinnings of my ancient life.

Good article. Pretty sure the event happened just like it says. My only legitimate question is....is it even possible for a human to turn to stone? Maybe she just dropped dead from a heart attack or something from seeing the carnage? If she did turn to stone, which I guess happened, who looked back to see it? (unless there were some running behind her at the time)

That this would have been incredibly long ago - even from Jesus' arrival - and of colorful description typical of the OT, it's probably not something we should put much time and thinking on.

If we're not careful, we could consume all of our time theorizing and daydreaming on sorts of matters that have no tangible relevance in our daily living. And that applies to most of the bible; outside of the Gospels.

I guess whether she was stoned or not does not matter. Maybe the writers were stoned?

Medusa was the one that turned people into stone. Lot's wife was turned into salt. I wondered so I ran a Google and sure enough:. https://youtu.be/-6pc_nC0HsU

Sodom and Gomorrah exists today and you can visit it. Its covered in sulfur balls, you can literally pick through pottery and dig up the bones covered in the desert.
