Objections, Objections, Objections VOL 1 

More, more more and thank you gentlemen! Watching closely and sharing across the world. Blessings guys.

Thank you! Really appreciate the time to do this. I think this series is necessary. It's getting old seeing the same RU-vid faces making the same objections to Hammam. I have a lot of respect for those people and the work they do, but it seems like they come after this research with a vigor unlike any other topic. Their data is "more concrete", and their arguments "more certain" on this topic than anything else they talk about. I have my suspicions about why, but that's largely conjecture. Even if this only sparks more of those videos or reaction videos to this, at least yours are out and available to provide some kind of retort. It would be interesting to see some back and forth, though, if it heads in that direction. As long as it stays civil 🤣 Thank you, again!

So Epic. Amazing information ! Thanks again

I really do think the issue comes down to the debate between the early or late date of the Exodus. I’ve debated between the two since first getting into archaeology and serious biblical studies. For me the evidence at Tel El Hammam is one of the strongest extra-biblical pieces of evidence for the late date. The destruction is unique and perfectly fits the text for the destruction of Sodom. It really can’t be anything else given its intensity, scope, and location. Any competing event for ‘Fire from heaven’ pales in comparison. Just as Tel El Hammam can’t be easily dismissed by skeptics of the Bible, it also cannot be easily dismissed in the debate over the date of the exodus. My conclusion is either the dating of the destruction layer at Tel El Hammam is off or the early date for the Exodus needs to be reevaluated and a late date looks more likely. There’s clearly something symbolic going on with the numbering and names in the table of nations and patriarchs. The question for me is how to honestly and correctly interpret the text while also using extra-biblical evidence as a sounding board for when an interpretation needs re-evaluation.

Bravo! Finally found the Socrates in the City. MORE PLEASE. Can't wait for the reports.

Objections... you had to know they were inevitable...I've followed your work for 10+ years... and found it to be the most logical through your biblical research and archeological field work. Thank you for the maximum efforts of transparency in all these years.

Nothing is so irritating than a person who won't listen to facts, because they're stuck on Sulphur balls.

Obviously a response to Joel Kramer's recent video. This is what we need... direct analysis of the specific information available. For us laymen, who understand the Biblical account as literal, these archeological/seminary infighting sessions can be disheartening and so very confusing. One man's argument seems right, until you hear the other's argument. How about a neutral-ground debate of the analysis of the Scriptural exegesis and all the evidence from the ground... like a long-format podcast on Associates for Biblical Research? There are men associated with ABR on both sides of the argument, and some open clarity would be so helpful to honest seekers of the truth. And I do hope one of those questions deal with the location of Zoar, its location on the ancient mosaic, and how Lot could have escaped there in the Biblical timeframe, why it seems to be alone in its escape from the sulfur balls found in that plain and other cities, and the apparent location of "Lot's Cave" in the immediate vicinity. There was obviously an atmospheric blast event at Hammam, but also a seeming atmospheric sulfur event in the southern plain, and if Hamman was actually Shittim, then why no mention of it anywhere... it doesn't make sense. We need a Biblical model that explains all the data, not just the data that espouses one dig site and the archeological careers of those involved... we get enough of that with all the gov't funded "research" that will only ensure whatever propaganda they desire. Please help us out here... the us being the very interested, but non-expert class of believers. We feel like parents whose kids are fighting in the back seat... and we really don't want to stop the car and dump both of them out.

Great video! Its a same that in the world of science, it seems like the only time someone's work is accepted is after they've died from Einstein to Wegener and Mendel to Boltzmann Of course it is in the nature of scientists to question things as Dr. Collins himself did with rethinking what was/is still kind of the popular theory of sodom's location being in the south rather then the more likely site to the north. The established thinking and the gate keeping establishment whose careers and pride depend on upholding certin knowledge to be fact will always be the greatest obstacle to the truth! I pray that one day your work will be given the credit it deserves.

The Exodus was in 1446 B.C. and, (According to the scriptures.) Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was *four hundred and thirty years* {Exodus 12:40} Placing Abraham's 75th year in 1876 B.C. and his birth around 1951 B.C. Making the destruction of cities of the plain around 1852 B.C.

I wish you would get into more depth. Dating things that old is not a simple or straightforward matter. There are error bars. There are uncertainties. I would like to see you deal with those and admit the uncertainties. Talk about the methods. Evaluate the evidence itself for us rather than just passing on these vague generalities.
