The philosophical is always subjective; however, archaeology DOES provide us with evidence that Old Testament events such as the Exodus DID occur. The problem is: It's not the evidence, it's the INTERPRETATION of the evidence. I would suggest reading "My Professor Says the Bible is a Myth" by Thomas B. Tribelhorn (www.MyProfessorSays.com). He does an exceptional job of answering these objections - not from wishful thinking, but from solid archaeological evidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-49854488532972706142010-08-22T23:16:59.129-04:002010-08-22T23:16:59.129-04:00Mild criticism to state that no relics have been f...Mild criticism to state that no relics have been found of the so-called exodus. even more more unique there should be tons of excrement from 600,000 people as well as the bones of animals eaten and campfire remains.

You are inducting rather than deducting<br />For instance you argued one can't trust the bible based the time removed from the events that happened. But that is a bad argument because from a strictly secular point of view you'd have to discount the works of Plato, Ceaser, and Aritsotle on the same grounds as dismissing the bible. Now you may have other reasons for not trusting the bible, but that particular argument is not based in logic of a secular deductive study anyway. It is an instance where you are misusing academic logic to fit your own conclusions. Is this not what you you accuse Christians of?<br /><br />Brother if logic is king in your life then you must accept its conclusions even if you don't like where they lead. that is pure reason. otherwise you are interpreting facts through your personal experience. I know brother that you are hiding being logic. But honestly its a front. I know its a front because of this:<br /><br />If I were able to give a sound logical and thought out answer to every single one of your questions and from a strictly logical point of view I was able to show that there was a creator you would not believe it because its not what you want to hear<br /><br />You might say the same thing to me but honestly if reason fostered the idea that God did not exist than I would choose that because reason and logic are important. The question I have you is if reason is your king will you accept any conclusion it gives you even if you don't like it? Or are you just looking for reasons to live the way you wanna live?Dan Rentonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-10527217825948667312010-07-14T09:12:09.073-04:002010-07-14T09:12:09.073-04:00Here is a great link that refutes the entire Exodu...Here is a great link that refutes the entire Exodus narrative and in fact ties it to some earlier myths. http://ptet.dubar.com/myth-exodus.html It has sources at the end and you can do the research to your hearts delight Dan don't forget to copy and paste it to your browser to access the site.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-58931788415293638562010-07-14T08:45:41.046-04:002010-07-14T08:45:41.046-04:00Dan with the so called evidence you have presented...Dan with the so called evidence you have presented all you are doing is grasping at straws. You claim that this mural demonstrates that there were asiatics in Egypt basing yourself on this mural and trying to make the connection with the Patriarchs, in hopes that it will later on lead to the verification of the exodus from Egypt. "While no one proposes these are the Israelites, it is the right people, the right places and the right time to offer greater insights into the world of Biblical characters." This is what is called speculation and speculation is not evidence but rather the grasping at straws. Trying to make history fit with the biblical narrative by manipulating any evidence that may or may not be related to the case. The usual christian tactics of rewriting history to lend truth to their false myths and legends.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-18622794561788897532010-07-10T22:41:36.564-04:002010-07-10T22:41:36.564-04:00ps Here is the link to the Mural

To argue that because it silent supports your thesis is a fallacy because it fails to take into account the other variables for the lack of silence evidence<br />for example<br />Atheists used to argue that you can't trust the bible because there was no archeological evidence to support that the city of Jericho existed. only later people found the city.<br /><br />If you claim to be a man of reason and intellect do the work and show me<br />1 Citations from respected academic scholars<br />2 all Academic data that would refute your thesis and how you would deal with it.<br />3 A willingness to admit your wrong when the evidence says contrary. I would admit I was wrong. If you don't its not reason, just your anger, and pride that guide you<br /> If reason is what guides you, then when something comes along that is logical, reasonable, verifiable, you must admit you’re wrong just like I will.Dan Rentonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-85162265122948217922010-07-10T22:25:35.347-04:002010-07-10T22:25:35.347-04:00Actually There is evidence to support the idea tha...Actually There is evidence to support the idea that there might be merit to this story<br /><br /> its call the Beni Hason Mural found in the 19 BCE<br /><br />The Khnum-Hotep tomb paintings, in general, provide an important glimpse into daily life and activities in this Egyptian province early in the second millennium BC. Yet this one scene offers a unique glimpse of Asiatics in Egypt at this time. Whether merchants or traveling artisans, the scene and inscription suggest an extended family, of thirty-seven, traveling from Syro-Palestine into Egypt.<br /><br />Because Khnum-Hotep’s administration occurred at the turn of the nineteenth century BC, the depiction of Asiatics in Egypt at this time can’t help but conjure up a picture of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph each of whom also spent time in Egypt during this general time period. A group of men, women and children suggests an extended family unit working and traveling together, reminiscent of Jacob’s family traveling to Egypt. So the Beni Hasan Asiatics’ appearance, dress, equipment and mode of travel should reflect much about the Patriarchs.<br /><br /><br />Both the Biblical Patriarchs and the Beni Hasan Asiatics traveled from the same region Syro-Palestine to the same region Egypt during the same period (twentieth–nineteenth centuries BC) While no one proposes these are the Israelites, it is the right people, the right places and the right time to offer greater insights into the world of Biblical characters.Dan Rentonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-68960659322129767162010-07-05T15:54:16.298-04:002010-07-05T15:54:16.298-04:00I agree billy no words or information from us or a...I agree billy no words or information from us or anyone can persuade anyone otherwise.
