Question
What is the differences in The Bible and archeology? Are they related some how? Are they any historical facts in the Bible? Where can I find the four big events which people have critize so much in the bible?

Answer
                       Peace

Dear Cugo
  First: the Bible is a book, archeology is "historical" science of sort.
  Second: the Bible can be source for leads for archeologist to find "lost cities" and other treasures of humanity" Also archeological discoveries can be used to comfirm the historical vaildness of the Bible.
  Third: I am not sure what four events you are talking about. If you can list them I can suggest some books or maybe sites.

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
