Quote:My belief is that the Hebrews were in Egypt during the Santorini eruption and that they heard via refugees descriptions of the volcano.
And, at the risk of cutting you off before you begin another absurd rant, THIS is your problem. You BELIEVE.
Facts are stubborn things so you ignore them and accept fiction.
1. There is no evidence that there were any "Hebrews" at all in the 17th century BC.
2. Egypt was not significantly impacted by Santorini's explosion - although her economy probably suffered because her trading partners were seriously damaged.
3. An exodus in 1625 BC would put the construction of the "temple" around 1200 BC and even fundies, stupid as they are, will not accept that.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but you are claiming your own facts. And you are simply wrong.
