archaeology

Welcome to the "dig zone"...
For all those people who say they can not believe religion, because they rely on facts, and for the people who put their faith in science, instead of God- This page is for you.

Although in other areas of this site we have some great "apologetics" information to prove God and his existence this page is especially interesting because it is research, and archaeological finds that although they were not intended to prove the scriptures, by their very nature, they do.
- Cities that skeptics have stated never existed that were found
- People, and coins that were thought not to exist but were found
- Bits of information that the non believers used to disprove the Bible, that are now proving that the Word is real and accurate!

Many of these Studies were done by a good friend, Jonas Manske from the Wauwatosa Church of Christ in Wisconsin, and others are pieces gathered from historical and scientific sites, books, and research.
I will try to get as many of these links up as possible-

The first on my list is one most people are familiar with- "The Dead Sea scrolls"
Click here to learn more about them!

Also take a look at these other "gems" that we dug up from the sand:
