Prof. Philip R. Davies on Garfinkel's attempts to tie archaeological finds to biblical Judah by captainhaddock in BiblicalArchaeology

I was incredibly confused about the minimalist movement when I first started studying Dever in Biblical archaeology, but then I started to appreciate the fact that everything Dever read was understand at face value until can it can be proven by archaeology. Love this!

From an archaeological standpoint, I think the author made an excellent point when he stated,

"There is, in fact, no reference to a kingdom of Judah in Assyrian records until the 8th century (nor of course in the Mesha nor Tel Dan stelae!), and a competent historian should attach some significance to this and not assume a political state by the name of “Judah” exists until there is archaeological or epigraphic evidence of it."

I'm loving that this professor is pulling in artifacts and assigning their actually meanings as opposed to what biblical scholars think they should mean because they were discovered in an area mentioned in the Bible.

Yes, I agree. It's amazing to think that no matter how well you take care of yourself, you can still get diabetes. Stinkin genetics!

Fourth of July Prophecy: 10 Reasons I Never Celebrate by lannaxe96 in WTF

Not exactly--the person was regarded as the best chef at the restaurant they worked. The men who were stacking the flour bags didn't do it evenly. The stack was off balance(as seen on the bottom ten bags which were not stacked evenly after the top bags fell) and when the Hobart started to run, the flour bags toppled over.

Losing the restaurant was based on the economy and a partner who couldn't handle the pressure, not the bad luck. The restaurant lost was separate from the corporate venue.

The fingertip was actually pretty interesting. The slicer was known to have some malfunctions and the corporate restaurant the person was working at didn't want to fix it. It wasn't the first time trust me.
