No, it is not, "most likely true". It is true.
You seriously do not know this?
Citation needed.

Most of the New Testament occurs during recorded history, thus there are dozens of real places and perhaps real events recorded in it. However, comparing the archaeological evidence for the earliest myths in the bible with the Greek myths, one would find them to be equivalent. The flood of Noah and the Trojan war are both examples of things that are based on historical events we have archaeological evidence for. Albeit, the actual events were far less grand.
We can assume that would we find less evidence for events that took place 5000 years ago as opposed to something that took place 3000 years ago. Sure!
Why should we just assume this? Do you have any evidence for this to be the case?
thenexttodie said:Still Greek mythology fails when compared to the Old Testament and New Testament, in terms of accurate historical accounts, based on outside evidence.
Once again, citation needed.

Perhaps it is, but until you actually verify any of these claims, we will never know.
Since I have your attention now, is there any chance you will return to this thread?
