Ten Plagues caused by the Santorini volcanic eruption

It is too hasty to entirely dismiss the historical accuracy of the Bible. I believe it is the atheist's best tool for dismantling the religion.

The ten plagues can all be attributed to a massive volcanic eruption and that eruption may have been the Santorini eruption.

The Hebrews may not have been known as Hebrews at the time. The Bible says there were twelve tribes, which could mean they were just a mixed bunch of people who came together in Egypt and left during the fallout of Santorini, taking the Egyptian's valuables, as stated in the Bible. Why would the Hebrews say in their Bible that they stole lots of valuables from trusted employers if it never happened? That is not logical and it is things like that that suggest there is some historical accuracy in the Bible. It's important to look at the finer details rather than approaching it with a ham fist and saying, 'It's all a load of rubbish!'.

If the Hebrews were in Egypt and they were a random collection of people working as slaves or low paid servants for wealthy Egyptians, they may well have been called 'habiru'. That was a term used to label people living on the fringe of society. That's enough lava spewing for one night I think. Great site. I hope it takes off.

So something like what was outlined in this documentary? Sam ^Tally-ho! 02:46, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Something like it yes. I've seen the film.....awful film....but it's on the right path. That film however was produced by theists. There are several theists who not only believe the ten plagues were caused by Santorini but also believe many prophecies are volcanic in nature. They have gone 90% of the way but the last 10% is the real hurdle. The penny will not drop. It is also a very hard one for atheists to accept. That, I believe, is due to a lot of people calling themselves atheist when in fact they hold out hope. (Oh My Volcano (talk) 13:19, 25 October 2012 (UTC))

Like ships in the night

This article and the Book of Exodus article (specifically this segment) seem completely oblivious to the existence of the other article. In my view, these two articles/segments should likely be merged. Thoughts? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 23:18, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

IP's correction seems to be legit from cursory googling

Which means that this page is at the wrong name? Anyone who actually knows hebrew willing to comment? ikanreed ^{🐐Bleat at me} 18:24, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
