If the exodus happened it would go a long way to the credibility of the Bible tough it would not provide much support for God.
Why would it add support for even the Bible?

Does the actual existence of the City of Troy add support for the veracity of the Odyssey?
The Bible is a collection of stories written by different authors, edited over thousands of years. If one part happened to be shown to be historically accurate, how would that add support for some other story?
It wouldn't support any other Biblical story any more than, as you pointed out the Troy Bit although I would have said the Illiad. Each story would have to stand on its own. One other point is how much of the story must be confirmed? Just finding that a group of related peoples left Egypt and settled in Canaan 40 years later doesn't go very far in confirming that thew Exodus occurred, but could show that at leat part of the story is tru which is what occurs in most mythology, that is there is some truth in it.

Since Evolution is only ~90% correct it should be thrown out and replaced by Creation which has even a lower % of correctness. W T Young, 2008
