Well, they do now that I have brought up the subject of Hezekiah's
tunnel and the earthen ramp, which can both be seen today.  Before
that, they were saying there was nothing in the Bible that was not
mythology and nothing in the Bible that could be proven.  Atheists say
whatever they think will fly.  It just so happened that I knew about
Hezekiah's tunnel, so what they usually say was not sufficient for
this conversation.  So now they are saying that the Bible has some
history in it, but they are not happy about having to say that.  They
would rather be saying what they said when this conversation started,
that the Bible is nothing but mythology.
