Better yet, a relevant Old Testament passage?

I'm on a kiosk at the moment, but I will find the relevant passage when I get home.

I'm more interested in the historical verification.

TGRR,
Will be awaiting this with great interest.

HAR!

No, he specifically stated that there was outside verification.

Babylonian documents aren't much better, unfortunately. The king list has several people whose reign is over 300 years long.

You said "historical", not "mythological".

The list you're referring to is the Sumerian king's list. There is no "Babylonian Kings List".

Fuck it.  I'm going to get ordained as a Catholic priest and start robbing banks and mugging people.  I mean, apparently, you can be excused any crime if you're in with the Big V.

Lets try it on an even simpler level:

1) There is a minimum energy/mass things can have, everything can be measured in a multiple of this minimum.

2) Objects at this size, or close to it, don't have an exact position or velocity, so they look like waves in most experiments.

3) If you try to measure the location, they act more like particles, just to fuck with you, but the velocity gets more uncertain, also just to fuck with you.

Conclusion: God hates physicists.

Hey now, being pedantic is MY job.

And yes, it's the Sumerian king's list. Then, Sargon (with the help of generations of Akkadian moles in the highest reaching places in the Sumerian priesthood) took over the whole place and it became the Akkadian empire. Then, Sargon II (no relation) took over some other shit, built Babylon, and dubbed the whole place the Babylonian empire. That doesn't mean that anywhere along the way their bookkeeping became significantly more accurate for things they weren't selling. Mind you, their bookkeeping was excellent for stuff they WERE selling, because they were totally ahead of the curve from inventing writing and mathematics for that purpose back around 4000 BC.

Moles in the priesthood? Why don't we have any of those? We need to infiltrate the Catholic church.

The priesthood *was* the government, there. They were also the educational system, more or less. The priesthood was also the only group allowed to buy and sell. It was like some kind of communist theocracy. So, over time, the akkadians (a semitic group coming from bordering lands) slowly moved into the sumerian cities, educated themselves in the sumerian school systems, got into the highest positions in the sumerian priesthood/government, and eventually (when the akkadians quite obviously outnumbered the racially distinct sumerians) declared themselves to be in charge and annexed the much larger and more profitable sumerian lands to the akkadian lands. It's a bit like if there were a conspiracy of mexican peasants to move into the united states, attend public schools, and then populate 80% of congress, then vote as a block to annex the united states to mexico.

Yeah there's way more verses on hookers than that in the Bible. For example, one of the main characters in Hosea (his wife, Gomer) is a prostitute. Or at least an adulteress. Same thing really (at least in the Bible anyway). There's even a prostitute in the lineage of Jesus.
