    I saw in a Ancienct and Medieval History Bookclub catalogue send in a mailshot this book(I think I have got the title right)by Liebenstein?/Goldberg?.

    From the description it said that it was a myth that archaeology had proved the Bible,there is no evidence that Exodus happened etc etc.

    Archaeology can prove the existence of certain places and certain kings etc. Archaeology cannot prove the bible is inspired.

    They are atheists. Although there is no archaeological evidence of the exodus in the Sinai there is said to be evidence that Saudi Arabia is not allowing to be freely examined in the Arabian peninsula itself. Many believe the crossing was from Egypt to Arabia.

    So there's a rumour that there might be evidence, but there's a conspiracy to keep that evidence hidden? In other words, there's no evidence.

    F, re-read it. There is no evidence for the Sinai desert but according to some persons there is for the Saudi side. Problem is Arabian authorities have kicked out amateur archaeologists who went there and won't allow in the pro's either.

    But that's not evidence. The possibility of evidence in some as yet unsearched area is not evidence. A belief should not hinge on evidence that may one day be discovered. The areas you mention may be studied one day, but until they are, no conclusions can be drawn from evidence that hasn't been found.
