There may be some independent documents based around the early formations of the church and its forefathers. Not sure how mu h information it might contain. I think there is a record of the leter sent to paul asking him to come see them (church fathers)due to some of the things he was teaching. But not sure if it lists some of the things they wasn't happy with.
It’s not an area I’ve studied. I know we have some serious amateur historians among us. I was taking a long shot.

I do find it interesting that the academic history of the time and place does not always align with what we were told in Sunday school. But I don’t have any references to contribute.

We could start with your claim that the ark carried all the animals of the world and Noah lived 950 years. Something that is impossible and is not justified by any evidence whatsoever. I even posted a contradiction rooted in genetic science that refutes this myth. You chose to not reply. lulz.

We could move on to your post that said God was continually pruning humanity with lightning and other disasters as if he were fallible and needed to kill off his mistakes.

We could then move on to your ignoring my observation that the bible you claim is God's word says the earth is flat.

We could do that, except you cling to your belief in a mythical supernatural being and will use the God myth to find a way to justify that bullshit.
Well the Sumerian kings list shows something very similar. Kings living incredibly long but as time moves on the kings lives seem to get shorter.

And it is technically possible to create a ark and hold animals like that. You kust hold the dna. Maybe a drop of blood or a patch of living skin kept in the right conditions would work.

before the flood the atmosphere we breath was different,

For example what if someone was a doctor for 400 years. They would have centuries of research and possibly found a cure for cancer after researching for 275 years. If a martial artist studied martial arts for 200 years might be pretty good. Now if Issacs newton was living he’d be less then 400 years old as I’m typing this. If Thomas Edison was still living he’d be less then 200 years old.

all i did was read a book, its hard to have a conversation about a book with people that refuse to pick it up and find out whats in it,

who then quote pathetic memes
Did you watch the video I posted on the academic study of the bible by textual scholars? Learn some history of the times? Alexander the great and how King Herod was one of his leftovers used by the Romans who came 60 years before Jesus. His country was largely Hellenized and Jesus, while working as a craftsman in Nazareth, may have travelled to the Greek city of Sepphoris for work purposes, possibly with his father and brothers, since it was only a couple of miles away. Jesus probably spoke some Greek and Hebrew, but mostly Aramaic.

The bible you probably refer to is the KJV the major English protestant text compiled by a committee of scholars and published in 1611. Even for its time it used an archaic form of English that gave it gravitas, much of it is a copy of Tyndale's earlier work, for which he was executed.

Contrary to the belief of many American Christians, Jesus did not speak English, a language much less than 1000 years old, Tyndale's bible was written as English was spoken 500 years or more ago. There were and many versions and books of the bible in circulation and in recent decades scholars have accessed many of the earliest and pieced some facts together using logic and reason.
