Dave,

It is my understanding that there is little independent historical verification of the biblical conquest of Israel. You were acting as if you knew of some. If you do know of some I would still like to know. But if you haven't researched the sources for these books, you have no basis for the assertions you have made. Yes. I could read T.E. Lawrence's opinions on the matter, but since I have already read "Seven Pillars" I doubt that I'll find what you have suggested in the books you have mentioned.

I guess you think it is fair to make a dubious assertion then back it up by telling a skeptic to go find the answer himself. To me that just tells me how much weight to give your next assertion.
