Before you go making a fool of yourself saying their is no evidence for exodus again. It's extremely well sourced. Something I can't say for your tinfoil claims.

Gimme a break. The Exodus supposedly took place in the middle of Egypt's Golden Age, hardly a time when it was brought to its knees by plagues and a wiping out of its entire army.

The Exodus is a real problem for biblical scholars and your name-calling and disdain doesn't change that fact. Honest biblical scholars admit it.

Those who demand a literal interpretation of the bible can not. Show me the four-legged flying animal that is good food.

Most of the post you linked to is about the lack of mention of Israel, or the mention of Israel already in Canaan and uses this as evidence that the exodus had already occurred. How is this evidence that there was an exodus?

So, just to be sure, are you saying that there is evidence supporting the Biblical version of the Exodus in circa 1200 B.C., with enslaved Hebrews escaping from their Egyptian captors?

Or are you saying that, in accordance with archaeological evidence, Exodus is a story based on the historically documented forced expulsion of the evil, Baal worshiping, oppressive Hyksos by the Egyptians around 1570 B.C.?

There is quite a bit of difference in the two stories, you know. Almost like one is a revisionist historical view meant to portray the writer's past in a more affectionate way.
