I made progress last week in my goal to photograph all of the sites that Paul visited on his missionary journeys. After all I have done though, there are still many sites left. I was hoping to visit Malta and southern Italy in June with friend Gordon Franz but the timing just did not work out. Franz just emailed me with notice of a new article<\/a> that he wrote on a “new discovery” on Malta. The new discovery is actually the latest fraud perpetuated by Robert Cornuke, and I appreciate Franz’s research to analyze Cornuke’s work. Previously, Cornuke claims to have discovered the real<\/em> Mt. Sinai, Noah’s Ark, and the Ark of the Covenant, making him the heir to Ron Wyatt<\/a> (who found all of the above plus more, and usually in different places :-)). Cornuke’s latest “finds” are the anchors from Paul’s boat that shipwrecked off of Malta. Ultimately Franz shows that Cornuke has a wish that he pretends is reality. If everyone ignored him, he wouldn’t be worth mentioning. But too many are sucked in, including, apparently, Josh McDowell, who claims this “is evidence that demands a verdict.” Is there evidence? Franz’s conclusion is that “there is no credible historical, archaeological, geographical or Biblical evidence to support [these] claims.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
