Well, no, Steve O.  Here is an example.  Atheists were claiming that
nothing existed on earth today that could prove anything in the
Bible.  So I said, What about Hezekiah's tunnel?  These atheists had
never heard of Hezekiah's tunnel.  So after they looked it up, they
said, The fact that a tunnel exists no more proves the Bible to be
true than Harry Potter leaving from the train station in London to go
to wizard's school.
   I really believe that it certainly does prove certain verses in the
Old Testament to be true which describe the digging of Hezekiah's
tunnel.  Otherwise, atheists need to explain why there is a tunnel
exactly where the Bible in three books of the Old Testament says a
tunnel was dug as a conduit for water.
