Christians: Please explain the Exodus

[Aractus]

Also noted elsewhere, with average life span less than 40 years, the wandering in the desert implies damn few of the original crew of the exodus actually reached the promised land. Virtually all of them died enroute.

Hell, even Moses didn't make it.

What did they do with all the bodies ??

(Moses excepted, he flitted away)

Actually the Bible says they didn't make it to Canaan, all 2-3 million of the original fleeing Jews died in the Sinai peninsula, and were buried there so god could let the next generation into Canaan. Where are the graves? Where is the pottery?

I think you're asking the question on the wrong forum OP, unless your intention was to confirm your bias.

Yes Drich, we've found evidence of the sort you requested - from space..no less. Didn't require a single shovel, and the interceding distance between the ground and the satellite or between the event and our time proved to be too much for your desert magic.

Even the absence of an actual campsite (which would be convenient, especially if they had a nice fire to keep them warm) doesn;t have the power to make things invisible to us. We're capable of identifying parts of the silk road that might have seen just a few hundred people over the span of thousands of years -=again, all the way from space...and amusingly, because we're looking from space. Impressive stuff.

Your excuses are noted, and rejected.

But more than this, we've found evidence that speaks to the -actual- history of the peoples mentioned in the bible. So it's not just that we haven't found evidence where we would expect to, of a sort we are absolutely capable of finding, but that we have found evidence where we didn't expect to - precisely because we entertained your biblical nonsense for so long.

That's what orginal thought looks like sport.

No, Drippy. That is what the thinking of a dumb fuck looks like.

If a group of people were camping in the middle of the desert only a few days ago I think it would be difficult to spot. If is like footprints in snow hey dissappear quickly. So trying to find out if people were camping in a desert 1000s of years ago I expect would be hard to do.

[The Grand Nudger]

It actually isn't, even when people try to hide it. That's why we can find people trying to flee through the wilderness. How many wanderers and campers do you think the exodus is referring to, one, two?

[C4RM5]

I think it refers to a few more than two.

[The Grand Nudger]

So it might be a little easier than finding two people running through the forest - which is also something we're capable of doing, eh?
