I never said anyone can prove the bible with the bible, I simply showed that there is no conclusive evidence one way or another. I also showed (in the paper) how we have knowledge of huge battles that existed according to ancient writings but no archeological evidence and how in the area the Hebrews were supposed to live in Egypt left no records because all the records were destroyed. Gut feeling (something doesn't add up) is great for somethings but means nothing until one can find evidence to back up that feeling.Obviously your anti-virus likes to give false positives. Oh well.LOLLet me guess Norton or MacAfee........My anti-virus system calls your link malware...The Historicity of the Exodus 1 Jonathan Burke - Academia.edu
Try again.
My advice? Address the points made during the entirety of the OP otherwise I'm going to regard you as a troll with nothing to say except lies.
I could care less if someone like you considers me a troll or not. That paper addressed every one of your points as conjecture, someones' pet postulations.
First I didn't know who the author was , no bio on him, and the links were mainly Jewish historians and the Hebrew bible itself that I checked out. You can't prove the bible using the bible. Also the story of they couldn't do digging in the Sinai is old news, if over 600,000 men plus woman and children spent 40 years roaming in it, there would be some evidence. What did they eat, bones of their buried dead , something , and yet they find some tidbits in Israel now, after all these years. What happened to all the gold they took with them?
Please read Sargon of Akkad story and Gilgamesh Flood story. They got the tales from Sumerians, they never even had the Torah in Babylon , the begun writing the Talmud, and the Ezra then went on to Jerusalem and wrote the Torah with Persian Priests. They were not even monotheistic before the Persian influence. I'm sorry , but it just does not add up.
He, and possibly you (don't know) simply want to discredit the Jews anyway possible, that automatically rules out objectivity rendering any argument you and he may have suspect at best from a purely scientific point of view.
