It's amazing to see how often Scripture is vindicated as more archaeological and scientific research is conducted. For now, we'll just look at the historical figure Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
For some time, many were determined to even deny the reality of a real person Jesus. However, more and more early documents began to arise which made it ludicrous to deny that Jesus existed.
Another tactic was to then deny that he was crucified with nails, but then a nail was found in the region of a person's foot and ankle dating to the era in which Jesus lived. This then made it foolish to claim that Jesus could not have died in such a manner.
Yet another tactic has been to declare that the Old Testament prophecies used to attest the Deity of Jesus Christ were manufactered after the time of Christ. However, the dead sea scrolls which were written well before the time of Christ made it evident that such prophetic texts were not fabricated after the earthly life of Christ.
We could go on and on, yet many still cannnot allow for supernatual explanations of the world. Why is this? If one presupposes a purely naturalistic world, one is then forced to revise history to fit this worldview no matter how bizarre the fabrications turn out to be.
Ultimately, the implications of accepting the Biblical accounts as historically accurate imply more than a rebel wants to accepts. That then is the real problem: a hard sinful rebellious heart.
