For those of you who saw the program on T.V, what do you think about the theories discussed that the exodus happened earlier than is currently believed and that the 10 plagues were a result of the Santorini volcanic eruption?

You can refer to this wikipedia link for more info. The show aired on the History Channel

I asked a similar question after the show aired. This person, egypt_aten_smenkhkare_94's answered the best. She/he is knows an awful lot about the Egyptian culture. She answered the question with such knowledge. It has made me want to look into her research further. I think you will find that it was all made to look like it could have happened by science thereby making it look like it really happened. But it did not. I have learned through research that the first 5 books of the Bible were stories that were told in Mesopotamia 1500 years before the Bible books were even written. They have tablets that show proof of this that have been found by archaeologists. People want the Bible to be true because they have grown up to believe that but so much of it is not accurate and can be proven through research.

I thought the suggestion that the Exodus happened earlier than previously thought was a good one, although more evidence would be great.
I thought the Santorini volcano assertion was laughable. Others have tried to assert this, but those of us who believe in God reject it outright.
Peace.

May I ask what TV program the asker is talking about? If so, what TV program?
