One of the many factors that made me loose faith in the bible was the fact that Camels were not domesticated during Abrahams era. I read this on the book "The Bible Unearthead". Do you know of any other evidence that shows camels were domesticated after 1000 bce

Oh the great goodness of Jehovah! How wonderful that he provided Abraham with these beasts! Obviously Jehovah "gentled" them for his people. That's the way any "good" JW would answer that allegation.

There are two kinds of camels: dromedary and bactrian. Both were independently domesticated.
Domestication regarding these:
It is thought that the Bactrian Camel was domesticated (independently from the dromedary) sometime before 2500 BC, [3] probably in northern Iran, Northeast Afghanistan, [3] or southwestern Turkestan. [4] The dromedary is believed to have been domesticated between 4000 BCE and 2000 BCE [5] in Arabia.

The traditional Jewish date for Abraham's birth is in the 19th century BCE (1812 BCE).
It seems a pretty safe bet that camels of some sort were domesticated by then.

You would be better going going down the "evidently Jesus dismissed Judas so he would not partake of the emblems" route if you want to lose faith.
I was sitting at the meeting thursday as they were talking about this and I noticed that the accounts in Matthew and Mark have the betrayer comment/meal reversed. Without a Bible in front of me, basically, in one account Jesus says "someone here will betray me" and then they eay. In the other, they eat the bread, drink the wine and THEN jesus says that someone there will betray him, clearly contradicting the narrative the FDS likes to sell that Jesus dismissed Judas before the partaking.
