BUMP!
In the same period of time, and on the same level of assurance, we should also have "free energy engines" and working flying saucers.
"When pressed on this point he will sometimes claim that he has a doctorate in Old Testament from a now-defunct Bible college in Texas."
And I've got a Doctorate in theology from the Universal Life Church. It's hanging right on my office wall with my minister's license. Cost me $35.

? My Hebrew calendars have Iyar 28/Yom Yerushalayim on Monday June 6th, DisembARKation Day.
What Does the "D" in D-Day Mean?This is the most frequently asked question by visitors to The National D-Day Museum. Many people think they know the answer: designated day, decision day, doomsday, or even death day.
SNIP
The French maintain the D means "disembarkation," still others say "debarkation," and the more poetic insist D-Day is short for "day of decision." When someone wrote to General Eisenhower in 1964 asking for an explanation, his executive assistant Brigadier General Robert Schultz answered: "General Eisenhower asked me to respond to your letter. Be advised that any amphibious operation has a 'departed date'; therefore the shortened term 'D-Day' is used." (p.146)

Hmmm.
I've often wondered in the Ark of the Covenant is where is "always" have been, in "Debir":
Easton's Dictionary:
Debiroracle town; sanctuary. (1.) One of the eleven cities to the west of Hebron, in the highlands of Judah (Josh. 15:49; Judg. 1:11-15). It was originally one of the towns of the Anakim (Josh. 15:15), and was also called Kirjath-sepher (q.v.) and Kirjath-sannah (49). Caleb, who had conquered and taken possession of the town and district of Hebron (Josh. 14:6-15), offered the hand of his daughter to any one who would successfully lead a party against Debir. Othniel, his younger brother (Judg. 1:13; 3:9), achieved the conquest, and gained Achsah as his wife. She was not satisfied with the portion her father gave her, and as she was proceeding toward her new home, she "lighted from off her ass" and said to him, "Give me a blessing [i.e., a dowry]: for thou hast given me a south land" (Josh. 15:19, A.V.); or, as in the Revised Version, "Thou hast set me in the land of the south", i.e., in the Negeb, outside the rich valley of Hebron, in the dry and barren land. "Give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs."
Debir has been identified with the modern Edh-Dhaheriyeh, i.e., "the well on the ridge", to the south of Hebron.

on this I'll take a Missouran attitude.
and I'll actually buy a pack of cigs so I can fully enjoy my old ritual of lmao at revelationists who are so bold as to pick a place and a date.
been a while since the last such laugh... those comet morons.
bookmarking
Jones says that in fact, the Ark was brought through a secret passage beneath the mount but that that same natural tunnel continues 18 miles into the Judean Desert to the Valley of Achur.That's some cave. For some time now, I've had an appreciation of VJones' views on the Copper Scroll. Also, he (correctly, IMV) locates the Cities of the Plain in the submerged north basin of the Dead Sea. Those interested in his other claims of discovery can click here.

George Lucas has 'borrowed' more stuff for his movies than almost anyone else. For example the lightsaber idea is basically a ripoff of the biblical 'flaming sword'.
