Well, give me your address, and I can send you a Bible.  So we will
run through what has been said so far.  Atheists say that everything
in the Bible is mythology.  So I said what about Hezekiah's tunnel and
the earthen ramp the Assyrian army built to get over the city wall
when they took the city of Lachish.  Those are two things described in
the Bible that can still be seen today.  Well, say atheists, the Harry
Potter book says that Harry Potter left from London on the train from
the train station in London, so that proves that London, England does
not exist.  But, I said, I know a man from London, England, and he
says that Harry Potter does not exist.  We do not believe you know a
man from London, England, say the atheists.
Then Darrell Stec said that the Bible cannot be true because it says
that Jesus Christ went to the synagogue in Nazareth and read from the
book of Isaiah, and Darrell Stec and other atheists have proven that
Nazareth did not exist and there were no synagogues in the Middle East
until 200 A.D.  But, I said, Paul and Luke wrote in the Bible that
there were synagogues all over Asia Minor.  Darrell Stek tells me that
proves the Bible is not true because atheists of today have determined
there were no synagogues until 200 A.D.  That is all we have discussed
so far.
