I also never said that there was no extra biblical writings on them. Another point that you happened to mysteriously gloss over. Go back and read exactly what I said.
I'm saying you are making a lot of assumptions.

It goes to show you how little the modern man really does know about his history.
Lucky you! Today is your day to learn something new. Let's spin the globe and see where she stops, shall we? Round and round it goes and stops on.....China. A modern country with people who build things like your computer. And phone. And TV. The Chinese, (they are the people in that really big country in Asia) have a WRITTEN history that dates back to the Shang Dynasty which was 1,000 to 1,600 years before Christ.

We can trace worship of the God of Judaism back to the moment of Creation...even if it wasn't known as Judaism until much later.
How did they get those Yamakas on the heads of those single cell animals? God does work in mysterious ways.

Why would you believe the Bible is wrong?
This is amazing.

Usually utilizing people with no personal scientific training in order to justify their points. It's true that some scientists attempt to prove a young earth theory, but they are in the slim minority. Not because Atheistic scientists are out to disprove Christianity, but because all the data says that the Earth is quite old and people have been around a lot longer than 8000 years.



Because science has disproven a majority of it?
Even the Jews Don't use it as a history book...

So what you are saying that in a culture where writing was available that the Torah was never written down, yet only appears well after the Country was a smoldering ruin? Excuse me if I have a lot of skepticism at that line of argument.
Torah is only the Law....You're thinking of the TaNaKh which is the complete Hebrew bible...
