Christians are accepting too many premises set by the world (the Bible is a fairy tale!!!) and not doing enough research on their own to get to the truth. I see this in a lot of my studies. A shocking number of Bible commentaries shy away from the historical evidence, I guess due to fear of approaching the subject created by godless archaeologists.
The flood is just one example. Many secular Egyptologists are adamant that the Exodus was a myth with no archaeological evidence to back it up, and as a result, I see many Christians and Jews shy away from the subject, as if ashamed of their own Bible. But read David Rohl’s book, “Exodus: Myth or History?” It’s astonishing!
You may see Roman Catholics ashamed of their Bibles....not Evangelicals.
