I thank the gentleman from Georgia for his words and for being here tonight. We have been on the Pacific Coast. Now we are with Georgia on the Atlantic Coast. We have been hearing from Texas, people from Texas down at our Mexican border, and we are about to hear from someone from Wisconsin, our border with Canada in the north of our country. And as Mr. Grothman comes forward, I want to just say a word about archaeology. It is a historical fact that there are archaeological discoveries that have validated accounts in the Bible, which gives trustworthiness to the Bible that we acknowledge during this National Bible Week. Time and time again, archaeology has shown that Biblical personalities, locations, and events actually existed in time and space. They weren't just made-up stories. Claims by critics that a Bible statement was simply made up have been debunked by later archaeological discoveries more times than we can say. The Jewish archaeologist Nelson Glueck has said: ``It may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted or controverted a Biblical reference.'' Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman).
