[The Christian Post] 12 Aug 2008--The two-hour PBS special attempts to delve into the origins of the Israelites to explore their gradual transformation into a monotheistic people. It attempts to uncover who wrote the Hebrew Bible and whether it’s history or parable.
Furthermore, the show poses provocative ideas – including the “revelation,” as the trailer’s narrator calls it, that many Israelites believed that God had a wife – and disputes literal readings of the text.
News of the upcoming program, which broke out after the July 13 preview, was quickly disseminated across the world-wide web, prompting the conservative American Family Association to pass around a petition urging Congress to stop using tax dollars to fund PBS.
“PBS is knowingly choosing to insult and attack Christianity by airing a program that declares the Bible ‘isn't true and a bunch of stories that never happened,’” signers of the petition are encouraged to declare to members of Congress.
Archeologist Dever – who said he has participated in two dozen films about the Bible, most of which, he said, were “dreadful” – predicted that there would be those who “are not going to like this film.”
“It’s a waste of time to argue with fundamentalists,” Dever said, according to the Orlando Sentinel. “And this film doesn’t do it. It’s designed for intelligent people who are willing to change their mind.”

Is there any evidence in support of the Exodus? Did it really happen? Ph.D. scientist Gerald E. Aardsma has studied and written on the Exodus for many years. He has some compelling evidence which shows that the Exodus did indeed happen! If you are looking for factual, scientific data, Dr. Aardsma has a book regarding the Exodus that you can order by going to this link: http://www.biblicalchronologist.org/products/Exodus_book.php.
