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.

Be well,
--
