why are you spreading missinformation? You do know 1-2 million people walking through the desert would provide FAR MORE then the paultry little bits we find, wich isn't the amount you expect from millions of people, but from nomads wandering the desert. Not again millions. Even the jews who have a huge reason to find the stuff admit it's not there.
Maybe God didn’t leave evidence because he wants us to have faith, not proof. If there was proof there would be no need for faith

Why would God want us to have faith in a specific number of Jewish exodus? Its not a part of Christian faith or of Christian creeds. Jesus can be the Son of God and resurrected without any exodus ever happening.

Therefore, I see no real reason for a Christian to fight for any specific view of that event, to die on that hill or to be anxious about it.

You can say that about the flood, the creation, the kingdoms, so what good is the Old Testament?

There are some prophecies about Christ. And some people find some places in it useful, theologically, poetically (like Psalms), even historically.

However, we do not need to be anxious about its literal historicity in everything, our faith is not based on that.

Some people have been taught the Bible is the word of God and is to be taken literally. What you are saying challenges their faith

Yes, various people have been taught various things. And those things are challenged by education, public discussions and similar.

In any case, no view of the Bible is crucial for Christianity, its basic doctrines, morality and salvation. If somebody was taught otherwise, such a person is closed in a circle which is hard to exit. However, some views of the Bible bring more problems and conflicts with reality than others.

Is it fair to ask what is the Biblical evidence for evolution?
There are people who believe in that. Ask @The Barbarian . We disagree on most things but he is very knowledgeable about evolution and the Bible
