And the resulting fire storm should have been sufficient to convince you that you are wasting your time trying to breathe life back into an absurd story. Sadly, you never seem to get the hint. Running back and pulling more bible verses out of your ass is not going to prove that the first bible verses were any more reliable. They are all the same shit.

As a matter of fact, we pretty much do. But, if you want to see for yourself, open up a new thread and ask the fundie morons WHEN the exodus happened? If any of them take you up on it you'll get a range of dates from the Old Kingdom to Ramesses the Great. Remember we need a period of almost 1,000 years. 480 years in "bondage" the Exodus and then 480 years until "Solomon" ( who does not seem to have existed either ) builds the fucking temple....of which not a single stone has ever been found nor any non-blblical reference to it.
Remember no references to Hebrew slaves in Egypt...no institution of mass slavery in Egypt for that matter in the time period in question, either. No archaeological evidence of them in Sinai. No evidence of the enemies they supposedly overcame until much later. No evidence of them entering Canaan from the outside and no evidence of any "Conquest." How many times does your fucking bible have to be wrong before you give it up?
