Scholars from both sides of the equation have taken the time to determine the accuracy or lack thereof of in Historical claims by Christians.
Apologists simply do not do anything but...make outrageous claims.

Pretty hypocritical of you question the integrity of christian scholars in a thread started because of an atheist sponsored chart that is deceptive in its presentation and greatly flawed in its formation.
You don't think atheist historians wouldn't be predisposed to interpret tidbits of historical information in a bad light against one of the religons they despise.
Atheist historians have denied the existance of several cities that are mentioned in scriptures that were later found by the pick and the shovel. They even denied the existance of King David until they found a little piece of stone from his reign with his name on it. They denied his existance even though there are six separate historical books in the Old Testament that mention him extensively. Moreover the largest book in the whole Bible is a collection of David's musical compositions. Until independant evidence was found these atheist scholars maintained that the absence physical evidence outside of the canon of scripture was proof that the bible was made up. Pretty much what Sam Harris does with his little chart.
