I don't think eye witness testimony is any less valid whether it comes from religious people or if it doesn't. But of course theres going to be a bias depending on your agenda, just like there is with everything in EWT.

There is no hard proof either way- sceptic theories are just that. Just because they're a more rational way, sometimes very far fetched, it doesn't make it any more or less valid than what its trying to disprove.

I don't think we'll ever know and I don't think I actually would want to know. But my personal beliefs are summed up in the title of this Facebook group

In other words there is no evidence for god, which was your initial point. If there was evidence we would know. At least in my understanding of the term 'evidence'.

Of course things in The Bible happened. At the end of the day it is a mixture of ramblings, prose, poetry and a *teeny* bit of history.

There is no universally accepted proof that the Egyptian plagues happened as told in The Bible.

No my point is theres suggestable evidence, its something you need to go really indepth with though, you can't really just touch on it with a few half hearted points. So you can't really objectively say its a fact God does not exist.

It's a personal belief and as long as it doesn't infringe on others, I don't feel it necessary for me to validate it on a forum. I believe that there are forces at work that are beyond the scope of our own understanding, that's all.
