Science Daily — New archeological research from modern-day Jordan indicates the existence of the biblical nation of Edom at least as early as the 10th Century B.C., the era of kings David and Solomon, and adds to the controversy over the historical accuracy of the Old Testament. The full results of the 2002 excavation, by a team of international scholars, at the site of Khirat en-Nahas (or "ruins of copper," in Arabic), are reported in the current issue of the British journal Antiquity.

A lot of the people, places, and events have been proven to have happened using modern technology, identifying bodies, etc. I believe in at least 99.9% of Biblical History.

Just one of dozens of such finds that are made every year.
Was reading that they appear to have found the tomb of Herod the Great, who build the Jewish temple that was standing at the time of Jesus.
Or that they have found a Syrian tablets which list seven Jewish kings and the tributes they paid to Syria. Perfectly matches the list given in the scriptures, names and amounts.
The recent discovery of the seal used by the scholar Baruch, who helped Jeremiah in the copying of Jeremiah's prophecies.
Do research some time on one of the founders of modern day archeology, Sir William Ramsey. An atheist, he set out to prove the New Testament false, and instead converted himself to the Christian faith as time after time he found historical proof of the writings of Luke.

When dealing with the world of science it's important to compare multiple bits of evidence. The following link discusses dating techniques used. Their conclusion is different from the article you posted. Now, that doesn't mean this one is right and yours is wrong, it means we require more data to demonstrate beyond reasonable question what the correct answer is.

I do have self assurance interior the biblical historic previous as that is been shown time and time back. The extra we study into it, the extra we see that the living bible is definitely a e book which could clarify our historic international and nonetheless be used as a handbook to our destiny as properly. It wasn't until the final a hundred years that individuals even denied that Jesus ever existed. That due usually to the acceptance of skeptics writings geared in the direction of earning a tendency dollar from a gullible and opinionated society.

i believe that some of the people could have existed as well as some of the cities and events. that said, i don't believe that any of it was commanded by god or influenced by god.
there's evidence to support that a man called jesus actually did live during that time period, but i don't believe that he was the son of god.
