I was specifically stating this in context of this thread about the anti-christ. Please reference archaeological work (published and peer reviewed) that substantiates any of the supernatural claims. Anyone can write a fiction book that takes place in a real setting and is anchored around events with archaeological support to them.
Beyond that, these people didn't have the first clue about global cultures, the philosophy of the east (i.e. hinduism/buddhism), the location/position of earth relative to other matter in the universe, the neural basis of consciousness, etc.. I can't seem to see ANYTHING that would indicate that this part of the bible is anything more than superstitious bologna.

If you choose not to believe, just for the sake of not believing, that's your choice. But it doesn't take away the fact that there are discoveries being made all the time that counter your theories and so called enlightenments. So, it is not just by blind faith that I believe. There IS proof. They've even found Noah's ark. How are you going to explain that away? The bible tells with 100% accuracy of what has happened and what is to come. No mistake about it. The second coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ is near. I for one am EXCITED about that.

Again.. What is the evidence. Who is "They" who found Noah's ark? Was it corroborated? Was there radio-carbon dating performed on the boat? How does this discovery fit in with the fact that 6000 years ago, the earth was in much the same form as it was in now and there just ain't enough water to cover all the land?
I think you have just cherry picked pure statements that people have made which, though they support your preferred stance, have no evidentiary basis.
I claim that there is no evidence of the sort and I challenge you to produce it if you claim otherwise. I certainly don't simply choose to "not believe" for the sake of "not believing..." I don't believe because there is
no reason to believe.
I suppose that your evidence for Noah's ship also comes with evidence for a global flood and genetic evidence illustrating sequence divergence from a single pair of all living animals approximately 6000 years ago? I know that that last part is flat out untrue.
