[url=http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/camels-in-the-bible-182042100.html][quote]New research using radioactive-carbon dating techniques shows the animals weren't domesticated until hundreds of years after the events documented in the Book of Genesis. The research was published by Erez Ben-Yosef and Lidar Sapir-Hen, archaeologists from Tel Aviv University in Israel. They believe camels were not domesticated in the eastern Mediterranean until the 10th century B.C.
While there are conflicting theories about when the Bible was composed, the recent research suggests it was written much later than the events it describes. This supports earlier studies that have challenged the Bible's veracity as a historic document.[/quote][/url]

Dunno why people just can't take meaning from the bible being the lessons/teachings told in them, and leave all the religious garbage out of arguments.
