Archaeology and the Bible

	Babylon's Ishtar Gate deserves to be one of the Wonders of the World

When they learn that I am a Christian, people will quite often tell me, "I wish I could believe - life would be so much easier if only I could believe."

Well, if it's evidence that you need, the science of archaeology provides plenty of evidence which shows that the Bible is an accurate historical record, but it also shows that the Bible contains remarkable predictions that have been fulfilled. It is not proof, which is a very strong word, but it is evidence, of sufficient robustness that you can believe - if you choose to!

I have been lucky enough to visit the lands of the Bible repeatedly and to explore nearly every Biblical site. Others may speak from books, but I've been there, seen it, investigated on-the-spot and have no doubts that the Bible is true in a way no other religious book can match.
