You really don't understand how this works, do you?
You made a claim. You were asked for a source. "Books I've read" does not count.

You're joking, right?
A fair swath of my professional life deals with the problem that patterns form from randomness all the time (in my case, patterns in vehicle collisions). Part of my job is to figure out whether a cluster of collisions has a common cause or if they're all just a product of random chance.
Yes, patterns can form from randomness. In fact, take any random assortment of things and I'll virtually guarantee that you'll be able to find some sort of pattern in it. This phenomenon is called pareidolia.

you might as well have said, "i just made that up..."
if you don't provide sources. don't you know that is part of the process of refuting any claims or in your case proving your baseless claims
All right. That is fine. But take a look at this link.

So your argument is that they left no evidence because only a very small number of people were actually there for any significant length of time?
What does evidence on the Arabian peninsula have to do with what people were doing on the Sinai peninsula?
Two problems here:
- first: what evidence?
- second: the Bible says that 600,000 men plus women and children entered the desert. It seems that what you're saying here implies that somewhere around 2,500,000 left the desert. But you argued above that only a very small number of people wandered the Sinai in between, didn't you? Aren't you contradicting yourself?
What evidence indicates this?
This gets back to my last question in that post: what you're saying suggests that we should see a major cultural shift in Canaan when Joshua and the Israelites invaded and pushed out the Philistines and Phonecians. The archaeological evidence suggests that this didn't happen.

i quote
"Now, I must admit that this has not been verified by any "official" archaeologists, but the video, which I have seen, does raise some interesting possibilities....I must admit that this is speculative at present and it has not been verified."
anything else?

Here's one.......
How do you reconcile the written account in Matthew whereas Jesus's birth took place during the reign of Herod the Great, in face that he had died in the spring of 4 BC at approx 70 years of age?

Perhaps because "defute" isn't a word?

atleast it is striaght forward.It doesnt use double talk tactics like scientist.
With all due respect, I think that maybe you should consider the possibility that the reason why what scientists say sounds like "double talk" to you is that you don't actually understand what they're saying.

Is thier statements any less true?
Anybody can go around making unverified unsubstantiated statements. It means nothing.
