The Pool of Siloam
I know there are many people who believe that the Bible is nothing more than a collection of stories. I know many others who believe that there's some divine inspiration in the Bible. There's even others who believe that most of the Bible is stories inspired by God, but that didn't actually happen.
Then there's all that scientific evidence that keeps popping up to show that maybe, just maybe, the Bible is actually a true, factual account of events. Drudge Reports (link likely to go out of date quickly) that the actual pool of Siloam has been discovered in Jerusalem. Not a makeshift fabrication, but the actual pool where Jesus healed a blind man. What if the entire Bible, from beginning to end, is an actual, factual reporting of historical events? Just think about it.

I love watching that mysteries of the Bible series on A&E and the History of the Bible on the History channel. I don't always agree with what they say, but they have found so much scientific evidence to date certain events to the Biblical description that to say that it is just a collection of stories or a fabrication is near impossible now.

That's true. More and more evidence keeps showing up that shows the Bible could actually be true.

My cousin, an archeologist, mentioned once how often they use the bible to help them date stuff.

That's pretty interesting. I'd love to be an archaeologist in the middle east -- if there weren't so many closed-minded evil people there that would want to kill me.
