If I didn't read the rest of your comment, I would have assumed this was a sarcastic joke!
There is much to learn in the area of textual criticism as it pertains to the Biblical texts.

Fren, you want me to believe that a year before Israel was created a shephard walked into a cave and walked out with 2000 year old documents magically lying around there, that coincidentally legitimized not just the Israel that was created a year later, but all the prophesies surrounding Israel?
And you want me to take the word of researchers after we spent the last 3 years being educated how corrupt the scientific research has been?
No thanks. As a rule I believe anything important that happened in 1947 to be a major psyop, including creation of CIA, Roswell, etc.
Bubble, I can appreciate a healthy dose of hyper skepticism when it comes to modern scholarship, but I think that skepticism needs to be tampered down a bit when it comes into contact with legitimate, cold, hard facts.
Skepticism in scientific research is a healthy and important aspect of the scientific method. In the case of the Dead Sea Scrolls, however, scholars and researchers have subjected these texts to rigorous analysis, and their authenticity and age have been confirmed through various methods, including paleography, radiocarbon dating, and linguistic analysis.
In other words, we’ve got multiple schools of evidence converging on the DSS to support their validation, and the scrolls’ historical value is independent of contemporary geopolitical events.
"Legitimate, cold, hard facts".
Kek.
Trust MY experts?
No thanks.
I was recently reading an article where supposedly they found cases where radiocarbon dating is not at all accurate. I think its just the tip of the iceberg. When it comes to subjective analysis of scholars, I completely ignore it. The way sciences are destroyed is by making it all subjective rather than objective.
To me the most important aspect is he origin story of of the DSS. Does not pass the sniff test in multiple ways.
But originally, I was not even thinking about this aspect. I was simply thinking about the subjective interpretation of ancient Bible when it was converted to various languages including English.
There is a book called Naked Bible, by a guy who researched the original manuscripts in Vatican for many years, who did a completely literal translation without an subjectivity - and what it indicates is ... very interesting .. to say the least.
But it any case, I dont like to rub against people's religious beliefs too much. If you want to believe that the version of Bible people are reading at their homes accurately describes the ancient teachings - thats your prerogative. I dont think we will be able to convince each other otherwise.
