A team did an investigation of the bottom of the sea and found a large pillar of salt there. It was the only one down there and naturally an anomaly to have something like that there.

      @@billjohnson9472 I think you're missing the point of these archeological finds. You're right that they do not, in themselves, prove that the biblical stories are true. But they provide support that indicates that they were written by someone within a region and time period, by someone who would have been in a position to know about certain events. There have been plenty of modern people who thought Sodom and Gomorrah were not real cities at all, just part of an entirely mythical story. These tablets prove that they did exist, and the writers of the bible lived in a time and place when the memory of them was still relatively recent, especially since, unlike other ancient cities, they did not continue to be inhabited throughout the following millennia. The archeological findings they discussed in this video don't prove that they were destroyed by an act of God, but they do show that the ancient account does line up with actual historical events in several key ways. Since ancient writers didn't have the same incredible access to information we do, made-up stories were much more likely to get details wrong, especially chronological anachronisms (like using names from their own time period rather than the period the story was supposed to take place in) and hyperbole, where the story grew bigger and more unbelievable over time. So these findings simply bolster the reliability of the ancient writers of the bible. It shows that they were accurate in key details, which makes it more likely that they are accurate in those details we haven't been able to corroborate yet.

Unless of course they collectively had decided to construct imaginary cities which they would pretend were real and would fraudulently record all of their dealings with. That would be a theory truly worthy of a blinded by their own prejudices radical skeptic. But that is really beside my point, I wasn't referring to the Genesis record as to whether or not the events it refers to happened the way the scripture records them, simply to the historicity of the cities themselves.

      Personally I suspect the fall of Jericho had to do with Natural Frequency Resonance. We only recently have understood that all structures have a natural frequency and can cause collapse if overwhelmed. The account of the fall of Jericho is oddly specific in the order and timing of a number of frequency variables. Even down to the red cord as it's possible it disrupted the frequencies just enough to prevent catastrophic failure of that one section.

      Why would you want that god in the Old Testament to have anything to do with us? That’s not the source of all creation. It’s not God in the Old Testament. It’s a god, yes, but those gods were violent and cruel. We were enslaved to them and forced to worship them.

      @@MisterEvvvSymphoenix Like any Church the Tower of Babel was intended to draw attentions skyward, but unlike any other Church (maybe), it had aggressive motivations. The Tower itself was pyramid-formed, and with good reason: the inspiration for it, as with all of Sumerian and Babylonian motivations, came from the mountains to the North-in eastern Turkey. This inspiration was a rare but known geological, volcanic phenomenon-one such example was twice the height of the Washington Monument-and smoke fire rose from it constantly. All other people in the region celebrated when it finally collapsed-also with good reason-but only the Sumerians altered that ending somewhat and convinced the faithful that this behemoth (see: Typhon in Greek myths) had succeeded in his quest to topple the One Most High. There's a reason the early Hebrews spoke ill of it. It symbolized an attack on God-metaphorically AND physically. Turkish legends to this day speak of a king shooting "fiery arrows at the heavens."

    God wouldn't need an actual nuke to do this. Just a big enough rock exploding at just the right altitude at just the right angle would have done it.

      If I was some effect of a giant meteor explosion that turned her into salt, the same would have been done to the rest of them given they would have been all in the same proximity.

    I read that paper. This hypothesis also explains Lot’s wife. When a bolide explodes, it releases a thermal shockwave in all directions capable of instantly desiccating any living being within its blast radius. But after a certain distance, the effect happens only if it hits it directly, unobstructed. It’s reasonable to suppose that Lot and his daughters had a hill or cliff wall between them and the blast, but that Lot’s wife, having turned around for a last, longing look, was line-of-sight at the moment the shockwave hit.

But yes, it certainly could be part of the same meteor stream that destroyed Sodom.

      Think about Sodom and Gomorrah, the evil men tried to gang rape two angels of God. Lot said “Please, my brothers, don’t do such a wicked thing.” “Stand back!” they replied. “This guy came to live here, and now he’s decided to play judge. For that we’ll deal worse with you than with them!”“When morning came, the angels told Lot to hurry. “Get up,” they said, “and take your wife and your two daughters who are here; otherwise you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”” God caused sulfur and fire to rain down on Sodom and Gomorrah killing every evil person there. People buy a plane ticket there to see pillars of human salt as an example of what happens to the ungodly today.
      Think about Ezekiel
      ““Human being, I have appointed you to be a watchman for the house of Isra’el. When you hear a word from my mouth, you are to warn them for me. If I say to a wicked person, ‘You will certainly die’; and you fail to warn him, to speak and warn the wicked person to leave his wicked way and save his life; then that wicked person will die guilty; and I will hold you responsible for his death. On the other hand, if you warn the wicked person, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness or his wicked way, then he will still die guilty; but you will have saved your own life. Similarly, when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits wickedness, I will place a stumblingblock before him - he will die; because you failed to warn him, he will die in his sin; his righteous acts which he did will not be remembered; and I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you warn the righteous person that a righteous person should not sin, and he doesn’t sin; then he will certainly live, because he took the warning; and you too will have saved your life.”
      Think about Roman
      “What is revealed is God’s anger from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who in their wickedness keep suppressing the truth; because what is known about God is plain to them, since God has made it plain to them. For ever since the creation of the universe his invisible qualities - both his eternal power and his divine nature - have been clearly seen, because they can be understood from what he has made. Therefore, they have no excuse; because, although they know who God is, they do not glorify him as God or thank him. On the contrary, they have become futile in their thinking; and their undiscerning hearts have become darkened. Claiming to be wise, they have become fools! In fact, they have exchanged the glory of the immortal God for mere images, like a mortal human being, or like birds, animals or reptiles! This is why God has given them up to the vileness of their hearts’ lusts, to the shameful misuse of each other’s bodies. They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshipping and serving created things, rather than the Creator - praised be he for ever. Amen. This is why God has given them up to degrading passions; so that their women exchange natural sexual relations for unnatural; and likewise the men, giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burn with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in their own persons the penalty appropriate to their perversion. In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things. They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and vice; stuffed with jealousy, murder, quarrelling, dishonesty and ill-will; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God; they are insolent, arrogant and boastful; they plan evil schemes; they disobey their parents; they are brainless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. They know well enough God’s righteous decree that people who do such things deserve to die; yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same.”
