I have been following the Biblical account. You on the other hand have ignored the account, and are floating theories that are based on no historical evidence. It's not that I'm some kind of archaeology expert. Yet, I base my beliefs on the written word. Where as your beliefs are based more on your own imagination.

Not far from the crossing site is found the story of the crossing written in stone. So it would be inaccurate to suggest that no such evidence exist. The writing was photographed in 1857 by Francis Frith. The Sinaitic Inscriptions were found in Wadee El-Mukattab, Sinai. This is extra Biblical evidence, that agrees with the Biblical account. You can read the account for yourself found on the first page of the link below.

The Hebrew Red Sea Crossing (Exodus)
Can you find a few links from non biblical sites? Or from people who don't have an agenda to prove the bible right no matter what? It would help your case much more.

It's doubtful that non Biblical believers will be looking to prove the Bible.
Just as I would not ask a believer in evolution to produce facts that prove the Biblical story of creation.

That was a rather artless evasion.

You are correct...Unlike bible believers, non bible believers are simply looking for truth.

So I should say to you that it's doubtful that you are actually looking for answers, but are only trying to prove the bible.

And you do realize the archaeology is not full of people out to disprove the bible. They simply go and look for historic artifacts. They found tons of relics about the old gods of the greeks and other civilizations, but they don't believe in their stories.

If that were true, non Bible believers would not ignore historical evidence that is presented to them from Bible believers. Nor would they create their own versions of historical events that are based only on their imaginations.

Unlike the gods of the past Greek civilizations. The Bible has a written account that can be followed. It does not just make empty statements. The prophecies of the Bible can be followed even to our time. The Greek Gods, and their stories from the past have nothing like this at all. And because of that, no one should believe their stories. Also, the accounts of the Red Sea crossing found in the Bible are very detailed. And when the Bible tells us God desended on Mt. Sinia like a furnace of fire. That is one of the reason they were able to locate the real Mt. Sinia today. And what they have discovered, is that the top of this granit mountain is burnt black. And all around the mountain, they have found evidence that fully matches the details of the Biblical account. And when such evidence is being confirmed. Then those are stories that one should consider.

Sorry old bud, you have that backwards....Real archeologists do not create events...They search for REAL evidence of events, and that is generally not found in the bible. Your whole life is based on imaginary events, so you should be the last person to talk.

I'm looking for confirmation that the Bible is true. Just as a scientist would search for information that would prove a given theory. And when one finds such proof. Then one should really consider it. Don't you think?
