It becomes harder and harder to tell where there is an error or a deliberate ignoring or ignorance of the Bible. With respect to the Exodus story in the Bible the Jews were not hunter/gatherers.DWill wrote:You can always claim that nothing is proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, but the plain fact is that most people just don't find factual truth in the Exodus story. The numbers don't begin to add up for most folks, for one thing. 2 to 3 million people--about half the population drawn out of Egypt --wandering in the desert for 40 years, presumably as hunter-gatherers so their leaving no trace is explained? And what about the Deuteronomy passages that emphasize the smallness of the Israelite population as it prepared to invade Canaan? Something isn't jibing. Even if you think you can wiggle out of these difficulties to suit yourself, can't you understand why others can't possibly go along?
What trace would you expect them to leave as they did not construct any permanent structures?
As for the section you laud in this comment, What Bible Buried Secret is being presented?
Hold the thought about the historicity of the events for a minute.
