Re: Questions

Can they hope to find evidence of passage when the Israelites' diet consisted almost entirely of manna and when they had strict laws regarding excretions?
You mean do we have any evidence of their movements during this period?
I'm not sure how we would investigate, but we could at least go through the motions.

If something contradicts the truth it is a lie regardless of the stature of the person stating it or of the number of people supporting it.
To claim that Finkelstein may be mistaken is one thing, to accuse him of knowingly promulgating a falsehood is quite another. Note that it is not enough to say that Finkelstein should have known that a statement you claim is false, was in fact, false - that would imply incompetence perhaps, but not lying.
Are you sure you are really saying that Finkelstein knowingly made false statements?
