Well, first you would have to make a decision about Hezekiah's
tunnel.  Does the tunnel really exist or is it just a hoax the way one
atheist claimed?  Then if you decide it exists, how does that relate
to the description of its construction in the Old Testament?  Was the
tunnel seen today the tunnel described in the Old Testament, or is it
some other tunnel the way atheists continue to say in this newsgroup?
I know this is difficult, but it really is possible for an atheist to
make a decision about this.
The verses of the Bible that describe the construction of Hezekiah's
tunnel are either true, or they are false.  So far, having said that
the Bible is only myth, atheists are not willing to admit that there
are verses describing the construction of Hezekiah's tunnel that are
obviously true.
