Why the religious will never admit you won the argument (and why they don't care)

[Mister Agenda]

Sigh. The Bible isn't the data, it's the model. For instance, it's unreasonable to believe the Exodus occurred as written, the archaeological evidence is firmly against it (the data). It is a story from the Babylonian Captivity, likely a sort of a 'God beat Pharaoh for us and gave us a homeland, he'll get us out of this' tale.

What evidence is firmly against it?

All the archeology in the region for the last century. The Israelis in particular looked very hard for evidence of the Exodus. Absence of evidence is evidence of absence within a bounded region, particularly a small region like the Sinai. Evidence of other nomadic encampments by much smaller groups have been found, but nothing to indicate hundreds of thousands of people (conservatively, 2 million based on the Biblical account) and their animals ever walked across the Sinai desert once, let alone wandered around it for 40 years. There's no record of the Israelites or the events supposedly surrounding their departure in Egyptian records. Many of the places mentioned in Exodus did not exist at the same time as each other. The archaeological consensus is that as a people, the Israelites were never in Egypt. The story is a legend made in the 7th century BCE.
