I am curious as to what cross checking about Egypt is being referred to that breaks down.........
Seriously? I was not talking about Egypt as such,
just giving it as an example of something the bible
got right; there really is an "Egypt". Lots of traces of it.
But since you asked, the whole "Exodus" thing
has no corroborating evidence from Egyptian history,
or anywhere else. Just t he bible story, with all its
magic. The bible stories with magic never ever
check out because, there is never any trace of them.
Likewise, the whole 6 day poof story is contradicted by
every since last speck of relevant evidence ever
examined anywhere on earth.
The flood story, likewise.
Cross check the flood story? Start with how there
could be well over a hundred thousand years'
accumulation of ice in Antarctica, IF there had
really been a "flood" and a global warm climate
up till then.
Cannot be done. EITHER, every one of the thousands of researchers who have done work on polar ice is
uneducated / stupid / dishonest / duped by Satan?
incompetent etc, and every research method used
is worthless, OR the flood story is well, just a story.
For a quick example of how cross checking can be
done in science-
We know from historical records the Vesuvias is
said to have erupted in AD 79. What if you think
maybe that is not so? Maybe the records are wrong..
Want to check?
Well... look in the ice.
Count down 1,939 layers in the ice.
Cross check your count with an E-log*
1939 layers down, you come to a spike in
sulfuric acid, as released by volcanoes.
Better still, there is a layer of ash there!
AND, as each volcano makes ash as distinctive
as a fingerprint, well, you can match it to Vesuvias.
And if you feel like it, you can do a radiocarbon date,
tool
There it is, ash from Vesuvias, right at the AD79
level. Pretty coool, no?
See, ice dating actually does woke, and can by
such means as those be proven to work.
Below the Vesuvias layer, there are thousands
more layers.
What might that mean?
*electronic, based on conductivity of layers.
Each year has a bit different H2S04 content, so
different conductivity.
oh yeah..
Where does the bible story break down?
When you check the flood and the 6 day poof against
some actual hard data. No match, no where, none.
