I think that either way (volcano or no), the events of the exodus was a supernatural event. The specific details do not to me make a difference in seeing God's in it. But I just don't see that the dates match. 1600 BC for the Santorini eruption is earlier than most dates I've seen for the exodus.
Ahhhh.
I have been thrilled by the discovery of chariot wheels etc. on the Sinai side of the crossing across the RED sea.
The old notion that they crossed the REED sea during a nice hot wind storm was so laughable. Right, Pharoah and all his armies and horses drowned in 4 inches of water! Grope, grope.
