Archaeology: Evidence For the Exodus

As the atheistic system of Evolution disallows any supernatural intervention in history, we are able to counter it using archaeology.

Perhaps the most-researched area of evidence for such supernatural occurrences is the events surrounding the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. According to the Biblical accout, the Israelites were enslaved for almost 400 years. Then, God sent ten plagues on Egypt, opened up the Red Sea for the Israelites to flee across, let the waters fall back on the Egyptian Pharoah and his army, and finally helped the Israelites conquer the land of Palestine from the wicked countries there.

1. The hieroglyphics of Egypt record a time of great distress, when "plague stalks the land," "the river is blood," and "gates, columns and walls are comsumed with fire." After this time, "the people are stripped of clothing, perfume and oil," the king dies mysteriously, and Egypt lapses into a period of turmoil and anarchy. The papyrus containing this record is housed in the Leiden Museum in Holland. It is classified as Leiden 344.

2. There are chariot-wheels and other Egyptian artifacts at the bottom of the Red Sea. These artifacts are not in the traditional site for the Israelite crossing, which would make the Israelites march through a steep chasm, but on a kind of land-bridge on the other side of the Sinai peninsula. This location was also apparently referred to by Josephus and others.

3. The walls of the ancient city of Jericho have been shown to have collapsed outwards in a catastrophic event during a time-frame consistent with the Biblical account of Joshua's conquest (about 1450 B.C.).

Supernatural occurences in history, especially those confirming the Bible, demonstrate the impossibility of atheistic Evolution.
