>>"Oh, I contested (and resolved) the existence of Moses in college." >Really? What was your reasoning? No historical evidence to the affirmative, a lot to the negative. Other than the Bible, there's no reason to believe that there were ever Israelites in Egypt -- you'd figure such cataclysmic events such as the Ten Plagues and a population of 600,000 slaves escaping would be documented. At the same time, all of the archaeological evidence from the Old Testament age in Palestine indicates that the Israelites/Judahites formed from a loose confederation of Canaanite tribes, rather than came from the outside (as the stories tell). There is no extrabibilical documentation on any OT figure before a king who was (in the OT) David's grandson. -Z
