 credibility to the scriptures if those scriptures agree with non-biblical

 agree that Herod was married on a sunny day, what of it?  If you wade through
 the Book of Mormon, it's a near certainty that you'll find SOMETHING that's
 true.  And whatever you find in the Book of Mormon that's true, it's almost
 certain that it will unremarkable -- as unremarkable as famines, and Herod's
 death. >>
There is more.  The skeptic Sir William Ramsey dug up the rocks in Asia Minor 
and every inscription he found confirmed the historical accuracy of Luke's 
writings.  It just proves that it was written by someone who was either on 
the scene or carefully interviewed people who were on the scene.  A guy many 
years later making stuff up could not have been so accurate.  And yet, this 
is not all of the evidence, but only part of it.
