This Nova special does a pretty good job of dissecting out the myth and legend of the first books of Old Testament.

The exodus is obviously false. There simply is no credible evidence for the exodus or the existence of the biblical Jesus.

My question is since there probably was no exodus, what is the basis for the illegal state of israel?

ha well no offense but Catholics don't go anywhere near a Bible until they are like forty, then maybe, big if

and the exodus story is not meant to be taken literally, wadr; there are even little traps built in for those who do imo

The Exodus story has about as much credibility as the Jesus story.

I think it's comical how we're supposed to take seriously what some guy with a PhD and various academic credentials says as if the arguments he's making aren't desperate and ridiculous.

You can be educated and still be deluded and wrong.

Educated? Seriously? Seminaries are institutions of nonsense and theology is the study of nothing. To be ordained is a ceremony of the absurd and degrees like a master or doctor of divinity are of less value than the paper on which such are printed.

@p-nullifidian You make a valid point. I stand corrected. He's not educated, deluded and wrong, he's just deluded and wrong with a bullshit degree.

@Sgt_Spanky Not meant as a correction ... peace.

He is one of the unauthorized "experts" that the Catholic church doesn't recognise.

Why would any sane person want Catholic answers or even Protestant answers when evidence-based answers are available?

They come right out and say knowledge is bad.

@Remowill Which is hilarious in itself: the knowledge that knowledge is bad is itself knowledge - which is itself bad, and so we have an infinite regress of badness!

test everything, and keep what is good
iow i agree 🙂
