Default Bible Baloney

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 is completely absorbed by the body, no dumping required :Cheeky:

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.

Did anyone have the market cornered on this, and,
when does NASA predict the next manna shower?

Best wishes,

Manna were bible passages without the first hand experience of those passages and therefore they died nonetheless. It was spiritual food second hand to them that whithered into darkness and needed to be renewed each day to bring [day]light in their life that kept the wander going for 40 years [instead of 40 months] until they died nonetheless. The wares they peddled along the side of this land were those same passages in effort to increase their faith that was overshadowed by doubt wherefore they died nonetheless.

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.

Where does the 500000 figure come from?

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.
