We better be careful we could start another religion all we need say is we received the message from the angel Mar Vel on magic papyrus called Grafic No Vels you can only read under a blanket with a flashlight,
Hail Thor!

You guys are all missing the obvious. It seems Ol' Doc Brown is at it again:

It isn't as if we do not have examples of how ancient chariots were made.

They were built for speed. They were not tanks. On the battlefield they were designed so that the driver could quickly bring his accompanying archer into range to fire on the enemy and then withdraw. Obviously their utility was determined by terrain.

Then what the hell are you doing, talking with such absurd certainty about what must be either invention or pure mischief?

Would it not be a sensible thing to get some idea? We have the view before us, possibly inane, ignorant and juvenile, that the failure of Yahweh to prevail against the Canaanite tribes, that has of course, in true skeptical tradition, been totally unevidenced, is 'famous'. So is there no responsibility to answer this question?

No that is not the OP

On the contrary. Post #9 proposes that iron chariots were an impossibility. The OP states that Jdg 1:19 records a failure of Israel's deity. So the outstanding question is this. Why would Israel invent a mythical chariot in order to demonstrate that Israel's own deity failed Israel?

It seems unlikely that Israel would do that. The most obvious alternative view is that enemies of Israel were somehow ingenious enough to a 'record' a non-event in Israel's Scripture; yet also with great incompetence, strangely unaware that chariots made of iron were impossible. Also, unlikely.

Something, somewhere, does not add up. A contradiction, no less. Perhaps someone who actually is a serious historian or biblical scholar can enlighten?

Obviously the same as god preinventing mysteries involving Jesus pre-the common era. It must have been the devil or something! This is so tiresome go watch Bill Craig if you must. The level of self-deception here is astounding, or perhaps just alittle wish-thinking? If that helps you, so be it, but dont confuse it with real history.

Hasn't anyone seen the Ben Hor chariot race? The stock chassis class Claudius Eranhardt vs Marcelius Petty grudge match.
