Not to this point, no.
There is still no archeological evidence to support the Exodus; the Garden of Eden, the Flood of Noah, or any other foundational claims in the Book of Genesis. There is no evidence anyone has ever lived to the many hundreds of years claimed in the OT. Quite the opposite, in fact
There is no presentable ARCHEOLOGICAL evidence that Jesus existed, much less any evidence for divinity, nor even for the existence of a supernatural deity, archeological or otherwise.
The preponderance of the evidence, archeological, biological and anthropologic, in fact, greatly contradicts many, many claims in scripture; even revealing Judeo-Christian scripture as an extremely poor scientific source, that contradicts itself hundreds of times.
I covered this already. There is no remaining direct, reliable sample of Christ’s blood or DNA to compare to. Never was. None was collected from him
If the Ark was found, where is it. Why has it not been studied. No one knows where the grail is, but we have to trust legends about a rag it was wiped off with, a thousand years ago.
There is lots more, but this is sufficient to debunk all of this video.

That’s fair. I wonder if you still hold that the earth is flat.
I tend to agree with the findings of the larger scientific community. It doesn’t have evidence to support many many claims of Biblical authors. History demonstrates with astonishing detail that Judeo-Christian scripture was derived and rewritten from many earlier legends, even pagan sources.
But we are all entitled to whatever methods that build our worldview. I do realize there is no prospect of convincing you otherwise. But I will still rail against what I recognize as demonstrably false or wicked teachings.

One of the primary differences between knowledge and faith is that knowledge can be demonstrated by supporting evidence and repeatability. Faith is acceptance in the absence of evidence. Calling one the other is a misrepresentation of both
To say the Bible is “God-breathed” is a statement of faith and serves to prove a complete misunderstanding of the Bible‘s origins and the manner in which it reached its current form. Men wrote, demonstrably plagiarized, edited, retranslated, recopied, and selected each and every story into the canon, while dismissing many others. MEN decided what stories were put into the Bible, and what those stories say. More than once.
Very little of what is contained in scripture can be shown to have been written by anyone present at events they describe. One recent count demonstrated over 400 separate and distinct contradictions within the texts. The Bible is swollen with debunked claims of primitive desert tribesmen who just knew that the world is flat, stars can literally fall out of the solid dome of sky, a snake talked and disease was spread by demons. It espouses incest, rape, slavery, murder, genocide, abortion, cannibalism, spousal and child abuse, and intolerance of race, religion, nationality, sex and sexual orientation.
Seems we’ve learned a lot of other truths in the last two millennia.
All in all, hardly demonstrative of a work of an unerring, benevolent, omniscient Creator of a universe of a hundred billion galaxies.
