I don't know ... this was the first link I checked. I realize its a jewish source but it seems like pretty good evidence.

Other Egyptian papyruses (Anastasi III & IV) discuss using straws in mud bricks, as mentioned in Exodus 5:7: "You must not gather straw to give to the people to make bricks as formerly. Let themsleves go and gather straw for themselves".
The tomb of vizier Rekhmire, ca. 1450 BCE, famously shows foreign slaves “making bricks for the workshop-storeplace of the Temple of Amun at Karnak in Thebes” and for a building ramp. They are labeled "captures brought-off by His Majesty for work at the Temple of Amun". Semites and Nubians are shown fetching and mixing mud and water, striking out bricks from molds, leaving them to dry and measuring their amount, under the watchful eyes of Egyptian overseers, each with a rod. The images bear out descriptions in Ex. 1:11-14; 5:1-21. (“They made their life bitter with hard labor, as they worked with clay mortar and bricks and in very form of slavery in the field” - Exodus 1:14a)
Also, the biblical description of how Hebrew slaves suffered under the lash is borne out by the Egyptian papyrus Bologna 1094, telling how two workers fled their taskmaster “because he beat them”. So it seems the biblical descriptions of Egyptian slavery are accurate.

Yeah, that is pretty convincing evidence Jem. Eyes up to "heaven" emoji.

I have had long chats with a student of mine, a senior Rabbi in his community on the whole thing. He got very bogged down last year, to the point where I let him off the hook as it was destroying his faith.

I look into it now and again to see if there is anything new that convinces me.
 
why do you all pick the irrelevants parts of the other persons argument.
its such a cheap way to argue...


this was the part I was citing...

the talking point was what you argued.
this gwu guy implied or said they preferred non scientists on the advisory board.
that statement does not follow from the policy pruitt announced.
So if he wanted it to be more than a talking point he or you should support it.

Al Teich is "just some talking point"? Sorry, I actually don't follow, not messing about.

Probably did.

@jem It seemed you made an edit after I replied or I just misread. I'll have a re-read of your post in the Egypt thing later as I'm heading out for dinner.
