"The Israelites never were in Egypt. They never came from abroad. This whole chain is broken. It is not a historical one. It is a later legendary reconstruction – made in the seventh century [BCE] – of a history that never happened."
William Dever, a more conservative archeologist, has labeled the question of the historicity of Exodus “dead.”
Again I ask: If Christians demand that skeptics accept the majority scholarly consensus (circa 70%) on the historicity of the Empty Tomb, then to be consistent, Christians must accept the overwhelming scholarly consensus (>90%) that the Exodus is a fable; it didn't happen; it is fiction.
