It is interesting that Collins has been involved in a multiyear pissing contest with Bryant Wood (another bible-thumper) arguing over whose mythology is "right."

It's amusing to watch them argue over which pile of trash smells better:

but it does require that there had been some truth to the patriarchal age which secular archaeologists have already dismissed as pure fantasy.

Well, had they kept the soap on strings in the Sodom public baths they would not have found themselves in that sordid life of debauchery in the first place.
