			In the exodus about 500,000 people leave Egypt to wander in the desert.  Why didn't the economy of Egypt collapse? or Were the so-called slaves replaced?  Granting all of that: Where is the evidence of 40 years worth of fires? and were is the evidence for the dried petrified excrement if the 500,000 wandered the desert.  Its strange that we find excrement of dinasauers from millions of years ago no physical piles from a few thousand years ago.

			Manna was very healthy -- very low in carbohydrates -- so no-one became bloated. I believe it kicked off the At-kins-tut diet craze in Egypt.

 Nothing has changed and the "great peddle" that must be juxtaposed with John 20:21 ("as the father has send me so I am sending you" while showing his wounds) is still going on today. So no, manna was an inferior substitute of the bread of life as per John 5:39-40. | |

			There is probably 200 million Americans doing the same thing so the number 500,000 is just a way to show that the road to perdition is far and wide but busy nonetheless . . . except now they have airports connecting these roads around the world.

			The 500,000 figure comes  between 400,000 and 600,000 figures quoted to me by Book believers, I really can't find it.
