Lines: 17 Xref: linus net.religion:7758 net.religion.christian:1553 Vince, You asked about archeological evidence of explainable physical events described in the Bible. Though I don't have the references conveniently at my fingertips, I recall evidence (as you yourself mention) of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah: the radiation count at the Dead Sea (the former site of Sodom and Gomorrah) is apparently higher than normal, and there is no means of accounting for a body of such intensely salinized water in that area. There is of course the evidence for the Ark on Mt. Ararat, though I understand that has fallen into disrepute. I also recall that there is evidence of some tumultuous incident in the Red Sea at approximately the time when the Israelites left Egypt. I hope this helps at least a little.
