Not enough, if ever.
First you say "far more times than seven;" now you say "if ever."

Well ... in the spirit of my signature, I'll stick with seven.

I said it was edited, but I never who edited it. You know I am an atheist right? Why would I view a deity as the editor when I don't think deities exist?

Then don't tell me God edited His words "far more than seven times" and expect me to believe you're telling me the truth.

You do know what infant mortality is don't you? out of 28 developed countries in 2014 the US came dead last, 28th,
6.1 babies out of every 1000 died in the US.

What do you think the infant mortality rate was 4000 years ago in the middle east?

Is that with or without abortions factored in?

You act like only Israelites and Egyptians would have been there. People visited other countries even back then.

Not at all. Many from other nations left Egypt with the Israelites.

My calculations consider infant mortality. That's why the low birthrate of 3 per family (actually probably closer to 2.5). The Israelites were actually quite healthy and well fed. They got a lot of exercise too.

So they would have recorded what had happened, or told the tales of what they saw which someone else would have recorded.

The mass exodus of a people would not be something soon forgotten, especially when supernatural forces came into affect numerous times and in a very noticeable fashion.

It appears a harlot knew more back then than any 100 scientists or scientific methodist does today, doesn't it?

Joshua 2:8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
Joshua 2:9 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
Joshua 2:10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Joshua 2:11 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

Without.

The American healthcare system is terrible. The worst of in the Western world AFAIK by nearly all metrics.
Maybe that's because we use fuel, instead of fetuses to heat our hospitals, eh?

Perhaps God didn't want anyone else writing Israel's history. Regarding "supernatural", my default position is that everything is supernatural, including nature.

The religious states seem to perform the most abortions because sex education there is woeful, it seems that sex is a sin,
when god said go forth and multiply he must have forgotten people needed to be sinful to follow his orders.

You read the data about the US infant mortality rate for 2014 did you?
"The Israelites were actually quite healthy and well fed", are you saying the US is worse now than it was for them then?

That's science propaganda.

Big companies make money selling prophylactics.

You want the best s_x education one can get?

  1. Teach that having s_x outside of marriage is a sin.
  2. Learn to, as our greatest First Lady said, JUST SAY NO.

What is "s_x"?

SAX. Obviously. (Obligatory "jk" so this won't be taken seriously.)

Ha, but that post reminds me of this:
