Let's see what Larry-turned-Weland was saying about my cite, my "century old text" only a few short weeks ago...
: Ah, well, there's one of your problems, you're a : century out of date! That explains some of the : difficulties you have. Do make an effort to : catch up, eh? Another time he almost sounded like he has an I.Q. in the double digits, but there was a huge problem...
: Exactly the problem: you cite a century old : book as if it were the state of the field currently : or that the basis of the field has remained what : was done centuiries ago and not reverified since. : It's like rejecting evolution because Darwin was : Christian. Here's the problem: There's no "verification." In fact, the loser was challenged, challenged again and again to justify his interpretation, but steadfastly refuses to do so... while squaking about 'Gs' and then claiming he has.
As has been pointing out to him, the explicit claim, "I found the name of Omri in the text" includes an implicit claim that you can map the text to a very specific time and place.
This isn't rocket science here. The nutters are claiming to find a biblical king: You have to connect the text to the place where this king supposedly was, at a time he was supposedly there.
But none of the bible thumpers do this. They can't do it. You have never done this.
