It certainly is inconvenient that the vast Egyptian historical record doesn't seem to support the Exodus story, and it's not as if Biblical scholars haven't been looking.

As if they would keep records of having their butts kicked by the god (the way they would spell it) of a bunch of slaves.

(Even if the government took all your earnings, you wouldn’t be, in its eyes, a slave.)

The Egyptian historical record is indeed vast, but it isn't seamless or without holes. Further, the Egyptian historical record was recorded by the Egyptians who, as with most societies, were unlikely to record (at least, not truthfully) events that cast them in a bad light. (Baghdad Bob, anyone?)
It's an absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.

The scientific record doesn't support global warming or evolution, but that doesn't stop the lefties in the universities.
