The account at the link you posted indicates that Alexander's men only stopped infrequently to drink whenever they found water, whereas the Israelites had to have made camp (likely for decades), otherwise their trek across the desert would have been fairly short.but again when these men died all of their stuff was left, that meant hundreds if not thousands if not ten thousands of men all of whole would have been armed and armored as well as personal effects, and whatever equipement they were responsible for.
Verses a completely different situation requiring the use, reuse and re- reuse of any and everything the jews brought with them till there was nothing left.
So we are comparing one large group who was just sheding material by the ton, verses another group who would have used everything (very little unusable garbage) till nothing was left/or it was burned to fuel a fire.
Quote:The Wiki entry for Balochistan --the area which Alexander traversed-- shows evidence of the tribes and peoples who lived in the area as far back as 7,000-6,000 BCE.Yes! These people stayed in one place for generations upon generations.
Quote:These would have to have been small tribes and villages, not massive groups of hundreds of thousands of men, plus their families and livestock and belongings.who lived in perminate/semi perminate structures.
Quote: It would not be surprising that a relatively short trek through the desert by an army left no trace, but to assume that this means that a nearly forty-year occupation by almost two million people would also leave no trace is, at the least, a stretch.again a short trek that involved the loss of an entire army, tons of the supplies/wepons of war they carried. 2/[/quote]3000 years AFTER Moses.

I believe in evolution. I don't believe in creationism.
So then you don't believed the chicken evolved from some other animal?
