Nothing Fails Like Bible History - Episode 2

Did Joshua really lead the Israelites into the promised land? Did Joshua conquer the land of Canaan? How much evidence for Joshua in the Bible is there? This week in Nothing Fails Like Bible History, we'll explore the evidence for the Bible by looking at evidence backing up the book of Joshua. We'll compare that to the evidence we have for the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II, who also lived during a similar time period, less than 100 miles from the land of Canaan.

I’m a Christian who is doubting certain things and exploring answers. Your videos are helping me do that. I feel sad for never questioning these things before, but also sad that it really appears you are right. Thank you.

What pisses me off is the fact I support my religious friends yet when I get found out to be an atheist I'm suddenly the devil ..and they always expect me to explain my reasons for being an atheist when I don't require them to explain why they believe in fairy tales..

I recently read in a 100 year old geology book by an author who lived there, that the Nile frequently runs red, as bright as fresh blood, almost annually due to the river's natural erosion of iron oxide deposits further up stream. It's just never mentioned in Sunday Schools.

I find it impressive when somebody demolishes an opponent with precision, conciseness, and humor.

Well done, sir.

I was a Christian up until the age of 11 when my baby sister became very ill and was taken to hospital and put into intensive care. I prayed to God to help her and make her well again for so many hours I lost count, finally falling asleep with exhaustion only to be awakened in the early hours by my Mother's screams as she returned from the hospital, as my little sister had died.

What's crazy is when I was a religious Jew NONE of this information was addressed. Of course not but I had no idea

The sun standing still in the sky is the perfect example of something that sounds possible to someone who doesn't understand what the sun is, but is absolutely insane if you do know what the sun is. Aside from the fact that it is something physically impossible, if it did happen there would be accounts of it from all humans civilizations on earth, and those don't exist.

I really appreciate how far you dig into the history of the Bible. Once I stopped believing due to obvious logical fallacy and contradictions, I really gave up understanding anymore. I didn’t even see the point of proving why I don’t believe anymore. But then I remember how deeply Christianity affects the world and I just really can’t believe it’s based off of literally nothing. These videos are truly fighting against centuries of propaganda.

There is a supposed grave of King Arthur at the ruins of the Glastonbury cathedral (ruined because it was catholic after King Henry VIII converted to Protestantism) and his castle is supposed to be at Tintagel in Cornwall. We also know that instead of horses, Arthur and his knights of the round table used coconut shells.

Awesome work! When we were in Egypt our tour guide, a doctorate in comparative religion, showed us psalms that were lifted straight out of the poetry books of the Egyptian pharaohs.

“wash it down with a hymn and call it a Sunday” is my new favorite phrase about the gullibility of religious people.

I came out as an atheist about a year ago.I have since endured the worst year of my life in regard to my mental and physical health.I will not change my position on religion even if it feels like I'm being punished by a celestial dictator that I am convinced does not exist.I just discovered holy Kool aid and appreciate the way he presents information without anger and intolrance.Keep up the good work

[vethattravelseats]

congrats on 104K! I'm always a little shocked by what some people will declare a conspiracy and what they will choose to believe, it's truly astonishing
