Booming technology and the rise of scholars, paved a way for a lot of research and archeological investigation. There is always a debate regrading the validity of the Bible. People are fascinated in knowing the history and validity of everything. It is human nature to always look for a basis and a framework for our beliefs. As a Christian , should our faith in the Lord suppress the knowledge and learning that we can acquire with the archeological findings? Definitely not!

Faith should not stifle with the any research and impede a scientific investigation. But, it should be the ground for an honest learning. Our pursuit for learning and research should be a means to an end of promoting good in the society. Faith should be the framework for seeking an understanding (GCU, n.d.)

I was able to review the first DVD of Patterns of Evidence, you can read my review HERE.

The foundation of the Bible, Exodus in this case is always a myth for some. There is always a debate and discussion circulating if the Exodus really happened. Most scholars, researchers and well known archeologist settled and concluded on the statement that there is no evidence. Just like any normal person would feel, film maker Tim Mahoney had a crisis of faith. This DVD is the result of his 12 year journey in his quest for finding out the foundation of the Exodus. Patterns of Evidence did a great job on delivering overwhelming archeological findings. The film is not biased and puts focus on finding the truth. Tim Mahoney, presented interviews from scholars and famous archeologists.

"Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus unlocks the mystery of this ancient saga, combining a scientific investigation with a retelling of the Exodus story to reveal an amazing pattern of evidence matching the biblical account that may challenge our understanding of history" (patternsofevidence.com).
