The Rebel Faction

That many people wandering around in a desert for 40 years would leave evidence of their passing - garbage, waste, the dead, bones from animals they ate, etc. Yet there is nothing. 40 years and not a single person saw them.

Also, Egypt losing that many slaves would have crippled the nation and made them ripe for invasion. Yet it's not mentioned by either them or the surrounding people, who surely would have noticed that many people walking by.

....You're all relying on innaccuracies from the Bible! The Bible is THE MOST HISTORICALLY INACURATE SOURCE. It never said that 'The Jews whipped out the entire army of the Pharoh'. It could've been a small force set out in terms to try to stop untrained slaves. ALSO the entire Jewish population DID NOT ESCAPE. There was a slave revolt. How do we know? A Jewish nation was established in Isreal shortly after that. And I don't think the Jewish people who controlled it were just created from no where.

When you are analyzing historical events as risen from a religious document, you first get an idea of what it says happen then throw it away. It can and WILL mislead you. Why? Because that Religion WILL glorify itself! Examine other sources and do some research before making wide claims. I base mine off the great deal of research I've done for history projects over the years and from my own interest in Ancient History.

Slave revolts happen, look historically. Some of which are famous and altered like the tale of Spartacus and Moses. Others more historically kept like the Underground Railroad. And some just plain forgotten.

The way I see the bible is just one big ass analogy but in the meantime everybody's freaking out and viewing the bible as more reliable thatn a history textbook.

The Bible isn't the word of God though. It has been rewritten time and time again by man. And anyone who's played the 'telephone' game knows, a message handed from one person to the next tends to get very distorted. If you may get me an original copy though that was supposedly written by one whom heard God tell him to write it, then that is a different case.
