No. Were you?

There is no known evidence of a mass of people leaving Egypt at the time the story was to take place.

There is no evidence that Jews were ever slaves to the Egyptians.

The Red Sea Parting? Yeah ok.

You are welcome to believe what you want. Your statement is simply false.

There is a record of them leaving.

Another well reasoned, carefully stated, LP-type proclamation, and as such happens to be wrong on many levels. See, e.g., http://www.ensignmessage.com/archives/exodusscptcs.html

The problem is that while archeaologists are looking in the right place, they are looking in the WRONG time!

The traditional Egyptian timeline is based on three pillars... and two of them are wrong. The prime one is the assumption that the unnamed Pharoah of the Exodus was the most famous of the Pharoahs... Ramses II called The Great. This as an error introduced very early in the "science" of Egyptology. The early archaeologists reasoned that Moses, the most important person in the Old Testament, must have interacted with the most important of the Pharoahs in Egypt... at least that THEY knew about... and that was Ramses the Great. This conclusion was actually confabulated out of the Biblical citation that the Hebrews were put to work building the Cities of Pi-Ramasses and they concluded that they must have been built by Ramses II. First of all there have been at least ELEVEN Pharoahs named Ramses - it was the name of Ramses II's Dynasty (The 19th)... and to confound things even more, that was only one of his names. There were Pharoahs named Ramses before the Ramses Dynasty.

Another problem with Ramses II being the Pharoah of the Exodus is that, on his wall of military victories, the City of Jerusalem is listed as one of his conquests... but if he reigned during the Exodus, the Jerusalem would not be founded for at least 40 years (remember the wandering in the wilderness?) and actually a lot longer than that. .. but there it is on his wall.

Another builder Pharoah was Thutmose (Thut-Moses?) IV during whose reign events similar to the story of the Exodus DID seem to have occurred. But his claim to Exodus is dismissed because of (1) the traditional time-line is anchored on Ramses II, and (2) he isn't Ramses II. During his reign, wall art seems to indicate semitic people as servants.

Incidentally, Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Smenkhkare, Tutankenamen, Ai (or Ay) and Horemheb were the last leaders of the 18th Dynasty...

It is quite astonishing to me that people will believe anything they read. They will believe ANYTHING but God's Word.

The bible is enough evidence, looser; but threre are other archeological and historical findings. Want me to give them to you? Well, you find them, since you are so full of common sence.
