For those who want proof of the exodus

[athrock]

Fair enough.

However, an ancient text lays out a sequence of six events for which there appears to be archaeological evidence. The common cry is, "Show me the evidence!", and Mahoney has done this in rather convincing fashion.

At this point then, the burden of proof shifts to the skeptic who must now demonstrate why Mahoney, et al. are wrong. IF the theory is "riddled with various difficulties", etc., then why is Mahoney wrong about any of the six events he documented?

Please be specific.


That's what the skeptic has to show. Mahoney, Rolm and others have had THEIR say. Why are they wrong?

May I stress and emphasize Mahoney is just a filmmaker, not an archaeologist? He is not an expert in this field. Just to be clear on this.

Of course. He makes this point repeatedly in the film.

And to be clear on another point, my argument isn't that they're wrong. My argument is that they're likely not right. Parsimony, falsifiability, acceptability, not in their favor.

Likely not right? Well, that's how all overturned scientific positions were viewed initially.
