Here's where you get confused every time. (or deliberately lie)
When they said "nothing exists on earth today that could prove anything in 
the bible" they were talking about the SPECIAL claims in the bible, not the 
ordinary mundane things such as tunnels, sheep, goats or shekels.
Yet, for some reason, you choose to lie about this and attribute claims to 
atheists which  don't exist.
You are either a complete liar or you are stuck on stupid.
