What Bible facts?
ok doser
lifeguard at the cement pond
carried the bodies with them
they didn't camp at a dwelling for years
and what kind of trash would you expect?
pop cans? plastic bottles?
i don't think that's correct - i believe a lot of sand has been found
who would have seen them?
ok doser
lifeguard at the cement pond
except for the eye-witness account found in scripture
Can I recommend a documentary?
"Patterns of Evidence: Exodus" made by Tim Mahoney
He documents all the evidence for the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.

Excellent question. Should be easy enough for a Bible believer.

The Jews are notoriously known for preparing and burying their dead in a timely manner, and who would carry forty years of dead bodies in the desert.
The Israelites were accomplish carpenters, they build houses and small towns wherever they settled.

I saw Patterns of Evidence, Tim Mahoney want to push the Exodus back a couple of centuries whereas most agree that Ramses was the pharaoh of the Exodus .

while traveling through a desert wasteland?
cite?
the jews, in order to bury them in the promised land
remember the bones of Joseph?
carpenters of sand?
feel free to provide scripture that indicates that they "settled" during the exodus
have you actually ever read exodus?
... Because of the evidence that indicates it was much earlier than most agree that it wasn't.
This is a bandwagon fallacy.
So what if most agree that Ramses was the pharaoh of the exodus?
If the evidence says otherwise, then the majority are wrong.
And Tim has done the work and shown that the evidence does not agree with the popular belief that Ramses was the pharaoh of the exodus.

I won't bother trying to tell someone that clearly does not want the answer.
P.S. There are tons of websites that give this answer in great detail, so go do your homework.
You can’t prove the Bible is Gods word. I know because I’ve already tried. If it could be proven, most everyone would believe it. The Bible being the “Word of God” is a belief, not a fact. FWIW.

Haven't you ever seen that documentary The Ten Commandments? :french:
more blustering from someone who can't answer a simple question.

There are many reasons, but you would not be interested in any of them.:jump:
Once I was sure that the Bible was 100% true, and dictated by God to humans. When I grew up, I realized that it wasn't true, no matter how much you'd like it to be true. The Bible is not 100% consistent. It doesn't match known historic facts quite right. The numbers in some of the stories (i.e. Exodus) have to be taken with a grain of salt. It is holy, ancient- but it cannot possibly be all God's Word. In fact, if you read the OT carefully, you'll notice that at times God's word is quoted. At Times, not always.
If you have some evidence or proof, let's hear it. If not, just be quiet. Your blustering only weakens your position.

The Bible is 100% true, but not "dictated by God to humans".
You realize that even one minor inconsistency or mismatch to reality will prove that statement wrong?
Rather, it's better to say that the Bible was perfect and 100% true in its original manuscripts.
The fact that only a few minor errors (which do not have any effect on the major points) have crept in over the last 2-4000 years is a testament to how well it was written.

Go ahead and try.
