Peanut Gallery for Brian and Buz's Exodus debate

what makes us think there were 10 people per row, 3 feet difference between rows, and the measurements written in the bible are the same as american measurements?

well heres what i think happened1. there probably were lets say 6 per row, ok?
2. they didnt go toward the red sea in a complete straight line, what if they went teh extremely long way due to probably governmental problems that might have happened in neighboring countries. we dont know. and that would probably explain the length of time and the length of the people. im sure many people didnt make it in the trip.
3. by the time they reached the shore, they all gathered around it and wondered what to do, then the Egyptians took a while to catch up becuase they encountered obstacles like the jews did.
4. by the time they crossed the red sea the egyptians were almost on their tail.now this is an assumption cuz usually when people travel they dont go in a straight line, i've noticed many airplanes, and cruisliners take routes that would lengthen the trip rather than make a straight line. What if the Jews went to neighboring villages to regroup and get food or sumthing i dont know. if im wrong please tell me! i dont want to false accuse.

Brian if they didn’t go in a straight line that would mean that the whole column is moving, if you took yarn and stretched it out from one end of your table to the other that would reach the end right? ok well take that same yarn and zigzag it a few times and it would end way before you reach the end of the table. That’s what happened.Sinse they were punished, maybe God blinded them so they actually went in circles and that’s why it took so long to get there! How is there no sign of them staying in Kadesh-Barnea?Its possible that the 3 million people did make it out, why is that an impossibility? Like I said they could wander around and wind about in curves and eventually reach the red sea.“What villages were there for them to go to?”
“Sin” “Baal-Zephon” “Etharn” “Pithom” “Pi-Beseth” “On” “Succoth” etc.“The Sinai desert could not sustain a group of 3 million, there simply isn't enough food or water.”That’s why before they reached the mountain they received food. And before mount Sinai there were neighboring villages, how would they survive without food?“The enslavement and Exodus simply did not happen. It is no big deal in the grand scheme of things.”It is! Because then we cannot trust what Moses says, and this what Genesis says as well! Because if he made up the enslavement then he probably screwed up Genesis when he edited it.

you know, i think i have to talk to my pastor about this one!
