Ah, yes, the old "we just haven't found the evidence yet" argument.

I am just holding to the principle of "innocent until proved guilty". And a negative cannot be proved. So what is the positive proof?

And since it is a negative to say that the Exodus / Conquest may not have

George, as hard as you and others are trying to cast me into the role of your opponents on this, the role I am playing is that of an impartial judge, trying to assess both sides of the matter without taking sides. Both sides have presented a case, but I have so far found both of them wanting in proper proof. And I don't call arguments from silence proper proof, from either side.
