What's interesting about this AMA is that you didn't get any real in depth questions about biblical archaeology. On reddit and it's cousin imgur , countless people bash the bible. Here you had a subject matter expert but no one asked questions on one reddits most discussed topics.
I'm no expert, but biblical archaeology and history fascinates me. It's plain to see that any real research done has ended up proving the cities, people and events existed. The bible seems to be way more accurate than any history book I was taught that told me Columbus discovered America but failed to tell me who discovered Europe.
Research on Jesus only leads to the conclusion that he existed, had a lot of people follow him, and had lots of people say he was God. The only question was "was he a mad man, an incredibly motivating and lying con artist, or was he telling the truth.
Tl:dr reddit, you should have asked challenging questions on the bible from an expert
