Hi Buz,
In the Exodus thread, had you been looking for evidence that God parted the Red Sea and allowed his people to pass, then you would have been looking for evidence of supernatural phenomena. But you weren't seeking evidence of that event.
You were seeking evidence that a million or so people had passed along a certain route around 1800 BC.
Here's an example of what your thread proposal should be about. Let's say that archaeologists a couple thousand years from now are trying to identify the actual landing site of the Normandy Invasion. What is the nature of the evidence they should be seeking that would establish that location?
If you write a thread proposal laying the groundwork for a discussion about the nature of evidence for events that actually happened or things that actually existed then I will promote it to the
Is It Science? forum.
