Not at all. If you want to confirm the biblical accounts occurred in Palestine then the historical record needs to be a glove that fits, I don't see how you can pretend it's optional. Starting from a position of saying the bible is true as an article of faith is pointless in this context. The extent to which you can provide that physical evidence from archaeology is the extent to which you can offer your confirmation. You presumably agree there are problems, at least.
