Does Archaeology Contradict the Bible?

We are writing this article in response to an article we saw on the Bart Ehrman website. The article is called 10 Times Archaeology Has Disagreed with the Biblical Narrative by Joshua Schachterle, Ph.D. We do not know if we will discuss all 10 points in that article, as the rebuttal is almost the same
