:I don't know much about Wood or Collins, but please do not completely delete the information about him. I think we should mention him and his views, as long as we point out he is wrong and how he is wrong. I personally don't think deleting wrong views is the right thing to do if people seriously hold to those views. Show that they are wrong. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:47, 29 April 2017 (EDT)

:: I find it very easy to dismount Bab edh-Dhra from being Sodom. For one, where there is a Sodom, there needs to be a Gomorrah. The site around Bab edh-Dhra is Numeira, so basically these people will tell you Sodom = Bab edh-Dhra and Gomorrah = Numeira. Initially, both of these cities were thought to have been destroyed by fire at the same time period (so it was looking good for them). Later, it was found out that Numeira's destruction occurred 250 years earlier than Bab edh-Dhra. So if Bab edh-Dhra is Sodom, Numeira '''can't''' be Gomorrah. However, there aren't any other candidates for Gomorrah aside from Numeira if Bab edh-Dhra is Sodom, basically meaning Gomorrah never existed on this view.
:: Steven Collins also shows numerous other errors in this view. It contradicts biblical chronology, it's in the completely wrong location, it isn't east of Bethel and Ai, etc, etc, etc. Watch the lecture from Collins I posted above to get some more context. Interestingly, even many of Wood's own colleagues (like Scott Stirpling) think Collins is right and Sodom is Tall el-Hammam. It's already been shown that Tall el-Hammam, aside from being in the right place and being destroyed in the right time, was destroyed by a fiery air burst (some have suggested a meteorite), which is amazingly similar to the Bible's description of Sodom being destroyed by fire and brimstone from heaven.[[User:Korvex|Korvex]] ([[User talk:Korvex|talk]]) 22:45, 30 April 2017 (EDT)
