Well, its always kind of humorus (cute) to me as well, this amazing story of Moses, for if any Hebrews returned to Judah at that supposed time, there would have been a very large Egyptian welcom wagon awaiting them. Hard to imagine some Pharoah losing an entire army to the Red Sea, they had garrisons already up in the Levant at that time. And no Egyptian records exist of losing such a large force in one fell "splash" , just pushes the realm of credulity, what do you think? Or Solomon with 100,000 man armies & 10,000 chariots 1000BC etc, the only ones that actually could field such an impressive force in that area, that far back were the Egyptians. (Hebrews were still living in tents & rude huts in the hills, one is hard pressed to even find crude pottery from that time related to them )

Its true, sometimes you do look upon things with a childlike, occam's razor, keep-it-simple, pragmatic pov. Like when the first maps were drawn of the world some centuries ago & little children immediately seeing the drifting continent theory, that Africa looked like a perfect fit to South America. Took us another 200yrs or so to prove what children saw immediately, one of the most elegant discoveries of the last 100yrs, plate tectonics/drifting continental theory. (a theory that really works/fits the observations)
