You made it sound like there was several things that it was correct on. The bible says that he existed, but in reality there isn't a lot of real evidence that he existed. So it's not really fair to say that the bible was right on the money.

So what have they dug up belonging to the Cree Indians that date between 1230 BC and 1190 BC? Because I mean if the haven't found anything within that 40 year period that would constitute proof in your eyes that they didn't exist for that forty years.
Your argument is silly and demonstrates the unjust standard you apply to the biblical narrative. Fortunately you don't represent the many archaeologists who as a rule will look objectively at any ancient text to find clues as where to dig for long buried history.

Ahh... The old guilty until proven innocent arguement. Yah I mean why shouldn't we just assume every man is a liar? Which begs the question: why are we talking at all. I mean we both are probably lying right now or at least repeating lies we've been told. You probably don't know a thing about this topic but, rather are making things up as you go along. Sheesh!
