ya know, some people refuse to accept what is known as fact and try to
dismiss it off as something that might could happen.
That isn't why we are here. We are here for meteorites, not mightbe's and
myths or annual events that did plague the Nile until recent history. If you
cannot accept that, then meteorites aren't real either and maybe you should
leave. I mean, really now, have you seen a rock strike the earth that was
from space with your own eyes?

It seems to me the History Channel or TLC, maybe even Discovery Channel,

But that's all a form of apologetics. It is looking far and wide to try
to
find
an explanation that COULD be true, and trying to give it as an explanation
for
an event. Yes, sometimes there are locusts in Egypt. Sometimes frogs in
Egypt.
Sometimes kids die in Egypt. Rivers could possbily turn red in Egypt from
dinoflagellates or some such. People could get boils. But how meaningful
is
that? Of course there can be natural reasons be given for described
conditions
and not just an entirely new malody be made up from pure imagination
(nobody
claimed a plague of attacks of three headed talking cariboo, after all).
What
is in question is-- did that series of "plagues" happen in that order,
close
together, after having a guy tell a pharoh that if he didn't release the
Israelites they would happen? Did he then release the Israelites, who
parted
the Sea of Reeds, after which that pharoh and his army was wiped out?
THAT
is
what "historical accuracy" is about, not wherther or not problems
described
are
actual problems that can take place.
Let's shift it forward a bit. A few thousand years. Say that the
alarmists
are
right, major global warming happens, and all costal cities are wiped out.
All
the evidence future archeologists have for the existance of New York is a
copy
of the movie Spiderman. Scholars debate on wherther Spiderman is a
historical
figure or just a mythical hero. Then, one year, some divers find the
ruins
of
Manhattan. New York was real! Does that, then, prove that Spiderman was
a
historical figure? After all, it turns out that there really was a New
York,
and Spiderman was supposed to live in New York...
