Did the Biblical Exodus ever happen?

What is your evidence that the site at Nuweiba is the most shallow part of the Gulf of Aqaba appropriate for a crossing?

Just one question here. Why restrict the crossing sites to the Gulf of Aqaba, to the exclusion of the traditional Gulf of Suez ?

Well I guess you have to take the Bible at face value. Alot of researchers believe what most ancient texts say, yet sometimes apply different standards to the biblical texts.

I have to agree with Coragyps. This claim seems to be baseless.However, to deal with your point, there is no good reason at all to treat all of the books of the Bible the same way. Exodus should be especially suspect for a number of reasons. The lack of a historical context within the book, the clearly legendary elements (the use of schematic ages for Moses is one) and the lack of supporting evidence from known history and archaeology simply puts the seal on it. To put it on the same level as -say - 2 Kings seems to be absurd.
