Anything Ron Wyatt said is usually considered nonsense. He claimed to have found Noahs Ark (with help), the very spot Jesus died, the location where Moses got his ten commandments (something the Archaeology faculty at Tel Aviv University could not do over several decades), and scores of other fascinating but false claims. From my readings Abraham, Moses and just about everything up to the Assyrians and Babylonians taking most of Palestine into slavery in the 6th and 7th centuries BCE is no more than myth. And still no contemporary writings mentioning Jesus.
'Doing some research"
Googling Exodus, and watching YouTube isn't research.
cheers mate
@ Spudnik
Ron Wyatt was a serial liar and a charlatan posing as an archeologist..when in fact he was an evangelical christian mental nurse. He found NOTHING in his entire career...but did build a ministry on lying about his discoveries.
There is no credible evidence for any "discovery" you have brought to this forum. Nothing. Nada. Zero. They are tales for gullible children.
A rock..... with a crack in it...... that has been exposed.... to the environment/weather.... for untold thousands of years...... has.... water..... erosion...... marks.... on it?..... *look of wondrous awe slowly spreads across face*..... That's.... that's..... Oh my GOD!..... That's INCREDIBLE!!!.... Listen up, all you skeptics and doubters! If you don't see THAT as proof of a miracle, then I'm afraid you are beyond hope! Keep digging, Spudster! I'm on the verge of conversion! Hallelujah!
The religious relic business is a scam dating back to the discovery of the "true cross" in Jerusalem by Constantine's mother, Helena. Now just about every cathedral and church in the world has a piece of cross, a nail, somebody's blood or finger bones, and other assorted trash that they use to attract pilgrims and extract donations.
This obsession with relics was beautifully lampooned in "Life of Brian" with the competing cults of the sandal and the gourd. It was also satirized in the first Blackadder season, when Baldric was selling sets of Jesus' finger bones.
Spudnik: What is your area of expertise / research that we should find so compelling?
@Chimp Re: "Spudnik: What is your area of expertise / research that we should find so compelling?"
Uh,,,, Hellll-ooooooo....! A rock... with a crack.... and water erosion marks!.... Good lord, man! What more do you NEED??? Hell, I'm already looking for the next church service to attend! I got a few dollars I'm just itchin' to toss into a collection plate! Praise the LORD, brothers and sisters!
Tin Man : Spend your money as you will! I don't have a beef with that! I spend my time as I will!
well they say it is not the type of water erosion you would normally get on rocks but that a large amount of water would have had to burst from the rock to cause it not preaching just saying what i have seen i don't believe it either just wondering what you guys thoughts are on it thanks
@ Spudnik
i have seen i don't believe it either
Neither do I believe it...oh wait..that's because it is bullshit...simples.

Certainly I can help. Firstly the first word in any sentence should be started with a capital letter. Secondly sentences require punctuation marks such as commas, otherwise they can render a sentence unreadable. Thirdly a question ends with a question mark, otherwise it makes no sense. Lastly when referring to yourself in the first person as I, it is always a capital letter. That's the execrable grammar dealt with.
Now, any question about something that uses the phrase "supposedly found" is quite obviously meaningless, if you can't even be bothered to ascertain whether the core claim is genuine then obviously no one else need bother with your verbiage. Your secondary claim that "some of the people on the site i was on claimed" is equally spurious and unworthy of any further comment, and for a fairly obvious reason. People on websites swear the world is flat, and that they've encountered mermaids, without objective evidence the claim you're citing is no different to those. The claims you cite for that reason don't need answering, anymore than someone asking why mermaids they met had women's breasts. Lastly the reason there "doesn't seem to be much on the topic that you can find" is quite obviously because it's nonsense, and most sane rational people don't like to waste their time on nonsense.
Hope this helps you out.
Ok primary source (Ron Wyatt )chill out Sheldon you cyber bully .
A person's name is not a primary source. Worse: we already know Wyatt was a fraud.
Lay off the ad hominem fallacy spudnik. We all know you have nothing of substance when your delusional fantasies are debunked. If you can't handle your vapid fantasies being criticised, then keep them to yourself. This is a public forum, so when you regurgitate this shit on here, you have to accept others have the right to point and laugh.
So why don' you "chill out".
I couldn't be more chilled if I was twins.
Ron Wyatt is a fraud.
What was so important about water erosion on a rock?
@Xeno Re: "What was so important about water erosion on a rock?"
Really? Are you SERIOUS? C'mon, Xeno, I thought you were one of the smart ones on here! It's not just ANY ol' rock. It is a rock with a SPLIT with "unusual" water erosion marks. Can you not see how that is undeniable proof of a water-emitting stone? It's an absolute miracle! Hallelujah!
By the way, I would like to extend an invitation to everybody to attend the kosher sacrificial cookout and bingo revival gathering next week at the Next-To-The-Last First Baptist Church of Latter Day Pagan Gods Communion Center Mosque. It will be a fantastic opportunity to join hands and gather on the prayer rugs while singing the praises of our Ambiguous Creator and enjoying the pleasing smell of burnt offerings. Also, special guest speaker sacred brother Pastor-Father Iman Omar Shenanigans Applestein will be blessing us with his divinely inspired rendition of the vaguely-acclaimed "Sermon On The Reverse Cowgirl Mount." Please RSVP PDQ before all prayer rug spots are sold out. Oh, and please remember to bring a copy of your income tax forms from the past three years so that our friendly financial department can accurately determine your appropriate tithing amount. See you all next week!
We're hearing of another person's account allegedly of another person's hearsay of what another person allegedly found.
