  Well I ain't dead yet. Thanks for kind thoughts. You reach an age where everyone you love leaves or is facing crisis. Hang on to who you can and tune out the pot stirrers.

  Life is an incredible stroke of luck and should be lived with as little needless conflict as possible. I'm going into surgery for advanced cancer tomorrow morn and can honestly say if I don't make it, it's been a good ride with few regrets. Humans are rather amazing given the winding evolutionary road we took to get here. We've made much progress that needs to be treasured and protected. Politics and the media are exactly what should be expected from naked apes that have just recently become civilized. It's the best we got and once in a while politicians raise to the occasion and do the right thing. Also, there are plenty of honest hardworking reporters not simply looking for ad revenue and fame. reward them by reading and weighing the facts. Most days I'm smiling more than not.

  Tall el-Hammam

  2. bible

  i was never a jw so rarely post here, maybe to ask a question sometime.

  just by an occasional visit it seems most regulars have found the bible untenable not only in its jw redaction.

  i get that so please don't view this as an attempt to debate.

  Unfortunately, this, and many digs in the Bibleland, is funded by church groups and have passionate biases. While it would be rash to say that there couldn't have been some natural disaster that inspired the story, there simply is nothing but wishful thinking to suggest these folks have discovered it. The legends spawned by the hellish landscape around the dead sea have spawned countless futile efforts to assert the location of the cities. Others have insisted upon Syria and others insist Jordan etc. It's very relevant that the report has many critics and detractors, they photoshopped images, they did not practice careful dating, they may be simply misinterpreting the supposed evidence of heat and impact. they found a few disarticulated bones but can't be sure if they are all human but have created a narrative of thousands of bodies being blown apart and roasted. It's sad this 19th century style archaeology still is common.
