Historicity of such claims is an interest of mine, so I'll watch this when i get home (and not waste my entire month's mobile data on it )

I'll be very interested in if there is anything new on this topic however, as so far there has only been a clear lack of evidence for the Biblical account of the exodus.  That isn't to say it is impossible that the some Jewish people left Egypt at some time and the tale got exaggerated, but there is no evidence for millions of Jews living in Egypt, or the plagues or anything like that at all.

These are two separate things.  Like I said, my position is not that couldn't have happened, it is that there is no evidence to suggest that it occurred as the Bible story tells it.

I'll look forward to see what evidence they provide when i get a chance to watch it, but I'm not holding my breath.  Millions of Jewish people wandering around for 40 years and inhabiting Egypt, apocalyptic plagues, and an entire army drowned in the Red Sea definitely should have historical evidence if they happened, i'll just have to wait and see what they come up with.

Is there any actual evidence of this?

No of the exodus.

I have not one shred of communicable evidence, of the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob intervening in this physical world.

But i do personally believe that God does, has, and can, intervene in the affairs of men,      ....coz, i'm a very gullible person.

I am not responsible, for what other people choose to believe.

And i am not responsible, for the choices which other people make.



I am responsible for what i believe, and for all of the good and the poor choices which i make.





Psalms 23:1
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

I am undecided.  I don't believe it happened because there is (as far as I know) no evidence to suggest a Biblical exodus.  If such evidence presents itself I would have no problem accepting it.

Viewing again, the official Trailer for the documentary [YT link below]....

The documentary Trailer suggests that the mainstream body of archaeologists today, are of the opinion that Joshua could not have destroyed Jericho.

How so ?

< -----------            It seems an obvious and reasonable question to ask, in trying to piece together an ancient 'jig-saw puzzle'.


The implication being made in the trailer, is that the mainstream body of archaeologists seem to want to avoid the possible 'consequence', of exploring all obvious possible questions, relating to the possibility of the presence of Israel, in Egypt ?

Why so ?

Well, i can think of at least one very good reason !



Also in the documentary trailer, someone suggests, at.....         2m 43s



Q.
But how scientific [and credible!] has the archaeological process in Egyptian archaeology been, if mainstream archaeology HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO ASK obvious questions, about what existing archaeological evidences may actually imply and support, relating to the possibility of the presence of Israel, in Egypt ?



.



To me, it seems likely, that supposedly 'professional' archaeologists [tainted with their own atheist prejudices] have refused [and continue to refuse] to consider, and acknowledge, archaeological evidences, which could directly point to a presence and exodus, of Israel, in and from Egypt.

Q.
And why is it likely, that those 'professional' archaeologists, have refused [and continue to refuse] to consider, and acknowledge, archaeological evidences, which seem to point to a presence and exodus, of Israel, from Egypt ????

A.
Because the whole mainstream body of archaeologists seem to be unwilling to give those evidences [which may confirm a biblical account] an impartial assessment [if the conclusion of such an assessment would clash with the current, and POLITICALLY CORRECT, mainstream [i.e. atheist] assessment of those evidences]. And, because no individual mainstream archaeologist is willing to chance his future career prospects, by 'flying such a flag'.

It's 'Modern Science', you see!

Atheistic, 'Modern Science'.

'As a preposition; We already know, for certain, that there is no God!
So if there is archaeological evidence which has been gathered, which could point to, and support a biblical account, of an exodus, of Israel, from Egypt,   ....then [obviously!!!] the archaeological evidence which could support such a conclusion, is being examined and analysed incorrectly!'

That is how 'Modern Science' works!       

What is current mainstream, and current politically correct, is reinforced by the high priesthood of any particular scientific discipline.

And with such an approach to examining evidence, that, is how 'Modern Science' is always able to come to the 'correct' conclusion, when examining archaeological evidence !

i.e.
Firstly, always eliminate consideration of any obviously wrong and obviously absurd [i.e. 'un-scientific'] conclusion.

Then, re-examine and re-analyse the available evidence with a view to fabricating with a view to coming up with a new and more realistic hypothesis.






But moving on;

If you don't accept my cynical appraisal of the 'scientific' archaeological process that has taken place in Egypt, well ok.

But i would still encourage you to acquire and view the

Patterns of Evidence: Exodus

DVD for yourself.

If you do not want to purchase the DVD yourself, go to your local public library, with the details of the DVD, and ask the atheist librarian, if the library service would consider purchasing the

Patterns of Evidence: Exodus

DVD.

And i'm sure that she won't be able to do that that she will consider doing that for you.


p.s.
I myself, have not viewed the full documentary yet.
But i have ordered the DVD.

Hey Stratos,

And all of those government advisers and humanist academics, with university degrees, also insist that;

"ISLAM is a peaceful and tolerant faith!"



And of course, it is too !

That's right, eh.
