aaahhhhhhh.

Wellllllllll, The Bible has won a lot of arguments. Won another one recently. Said Edom was at such and such a time and state. Scholars heretofore had said that was impossible. Recent archeological evidence for the umpteen hundredth time has shown The Bible accurate to the last detail.

I think I'll go with The Bible.

Which scholars said that it was *impossible?* Same ones who said that Troy was a myth... until it was found, thus proving the truth of the Iliad and revealing the actual divinity of the Olympian gods? </sarcasm>

Yes, in things of which there is no particular controversy. A religious text written in, say, New York City, buried for three millenia and then rediscovered woudl hardly be proven to be God's Hoenst Truth just because the remains of the city of New York are found, now would it?
