Quote:Sure to burn the asses of fundies everywhere.
You know what you are ? You're a romantic, that's what you are.
Fundies won't skip a beat, on two broad grounds:
(1)They never allow anything as prosaic as evidence interfere withe their superstitions.
(2)The date(s) commonly given for the Exodus vary from ca 1500 to 1100 BCE,depending on whom you choose to believe.The fundies will simply claim the Babylonians pinched the stuff from the Torah,which was of course required reading in Babylon. ME? I think the Exodus is myth.
Interesting if you also compare Hammurabic Law with Mosaic Law. (ca 1790 BCE)
