If it applies to reality, then it can be tested.It cannot be tested because it is a religious belief and science cannot be used to confirm or reject a religious belief. On the other hand religious beliefs cannot be used to confirm or reject scientific conclusions.
As I have said many times, I use Ussher's dates for the sake of Occam's razor.And what is your evidence to support this claim?
I'm glad to report that the evidence fled the scene of the "crime" and is no longer in Egypt or the Sinai, but in the Promised Land.Actual evidence, please, AV. Something which can be tested independently.
You’ll see when you answer
Houston we have a problem.1491 BC
Even if his death was uncertain this guy was in no physical condition to chase Hebrews around in the desert on a chariot.Pathology
Royal Mummy of Thutmose II, in exposition
Thutmose II supposedly died in his early 30’s, of an unknown condition. The analysis of his mummy revealed he had been a weak man in life, thin and shrunken, with little muscle mass, and his skin was covered in lesions and scars that could not be disguised by the embalming process. His skin condition could be a signal of an infectious disease that led to his death. His head also had bald patches.
Of course it does (read like a myth). It’s talking about creation!It doens't matter. Genesis doesn't read like a history. I reads like myth and legend. It reads as the story a people tell about themselves using characters from the far distant and ill defined past. I was shocked a how obviously mythical it was the first time I read it.

recorded history begins with the accounts of the ancient world around the 4th millennium BC. In Mesopotamia.
Houston, they sure do.Houston we have a problem.
Is this according to Conventional Egyptian Chronology, the New Egyptian Chronology, or the Glasgow Chronology?If this is the accepted date according to some dude in the 17th century then the pharaoh concerned is no other than Thutmose II.
Unfortunately for you we have the body and it appears that poor Thutmose didn't die by drowning in the Red sea but possibly of some infectious disease.
Recorded history is 6000 years old. And Begins in Mesopotamia. You write that off as coincidence? Both time and location?which as you imply is a myth (I agree.)
I knew you were going here and that's why I wasn't playing your game. This is irrelevant for either the claim that the Earth is 6000 years old as a historical "fact" and that Genesis is history.
Can you produce the evidence?As I have said many times, I use Ussher's dates for the sake of Occam's razor.
I'm glad to report that the evidence fled the scene of the "crime" and is no longer in Egypt or the Sinai, but in the Promised Land.
Do you know where that is?
Ok when and where does recorded history begin then?
Better to have questions raised on the physical evidence provided by archaeology rather than purely historical accounts which may reflect the bias of the writer.
There are Christians who have a literal interpretation of the Bible, the same applied to Roman historians such as Tacitus.
Tacitus believed Christians were into cannibalism and incest as Romans had a literal interpretation of the Eucharist and brotherly love in the Bible.

I have no qualms in believing academia prefers the Mesopotamian mythologies ten-to-one over the AV1611 Bible.
None whatsoever.
Hmmm. Recorded history begins in the same general time and place of creation. Interesting. Yeah. I agree just coincidence.Writing begins in Mesopotamia about 5500 years ago, and yes, I do write that off as coincidence. The actual history of the region extends back clearly for several thousand years prior to the first writing.
What do you know that Public Hermit doesn't then?I'm academia and I don't prefer the Mesopotamian myths.

Perhaps you should do a bit of researching before posting.Houston, they sure do.

Nice try, Astro.So yes Houston we still have a problem Thutmose II the guy covered in lesions and scars, who might have died from an infectious disease and had a wasted body too weak to parade around on a chariot is your man in the Exodus who ended up drowning in the Red sea while on his chariot.
Thutmose II, (flourished 2nd millennium bce), 18th-dynasty king (reigned c. 1482–79 bce) of ancient Egypt who suppressed a revolt in Nubia, Egypt’s territory to the south, and also sent a punitive expedition to Palestine against some Bedouins.
