Watch Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

The Worst Film Ever

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Insightful, even handed, restrained, and yet utterly compelling, Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus is an intelligent documentary and mature treatment of a very sensitive subject. It's a film that values exploration and questioning, rather than hand wringing and partisanship. It's a film of value, a film of questions, and one that can serve to better inform. As the documentary relates, the establishment view is that the Exodus didn't happen as described in the Bible, or is entirely fictional. This criticism seems to revolve around the established timeline for the Exodus. The documentary challenges this assumption, and does so convincingly. Experts of every stripe are shown, yet the film gives a notable voice to those who point to startling evidence of exactly what the Bible describes, just earlier than accepted. Director Tim Mahoney navigates the ensuing web well, keeping the viewer anchored with excellent visuals and a concise yet intelligent description off the correlation of events, and how they may fit from an archaeological standpoint.It's not perfect, some of the dramatization is unnecessary and the narration uneven, yet the questions poignant, and the execution striking.4/5 Stars

I am Christian to begin with, and I'm proud to say that my faith is strong in The Lord. But I'm not a scientist, though I am curious and often times seek the truth. It's very much faith empowering how this film elaborates on the story of Exodus, at the same time comparing it with coherent scientific evidence. Yet this movie also still nicely leaves room for faith. As faith is the basis of things we can't see, one needs faith to understand the reasoning this movie presented, while the evidence itself still gets debated by scientists. I for one at prior to this movie wasn't aware of the gap of date settings between scientists, or even the whole counter-idea of the Exodus itself, as being a myth. At a skeptic's perspective this may prove that ignorance is bliss. But I see it as the fact that faith in God can't be distinguished by mere scientists' wisdom, which base their findings on mere rags and tatters.

I feel Netflix has let me down again. Why do they insist on giving us garbage like this. "Pattern's of Evidence"? There, the title should have given me pause. It should have been called "Quasi-Evidence" for the lack of real science. Listen, I would love to believe in Bigfoot or the Lock Ness Monster, but documentaries like these are simply a waste of time. Especially when the narrator says, "The Bible records....blah blah" or "Their antagonistic claims..." when describing books from Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. The Bible is not a book of record no more than Forrest Gump is a documentary. It's a book of faith, for those who cannot comprehend science. Books like "God is Not Great" simply use REASON to counter faith. Basically "Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus" is this: "Look, we have found some chicken bones next to a KFC. Perhaps the pharaohs were plagued by chickens sent from God!", then they show lame, dated, computer graphics and present them as conclusive evidence.What I do love about this film is it's pacing. It is so slow, that you know the target audience is the elderly and those who have no mind for education. I just picture a group of slow-witted, morons in a theater with their mouths open, drooling, and making sounds like cow getting a massage. I highly recommend this movie if you are having trouble sleeping.

New York was known as New Amsterdam when the Dutch were there however when the English took it over they changed the name to New York, if I were write a blog and in it, made reference to New Amsterdam, most people would have no idea what city I was referring to! Likewise Ramses was known as Avaris, when the Jews were there however when Egyptians took it over they changed the name to Ramses!! Duh!! What an obvious and blatant mistake! How on earth could such renowned, educated and intelligent men and women in the field of archeology possibly be so stupid?? Furthermore it infuriates me when such individuals who have PhDs and are trained in the sciences to be professionals, act as if no one can point out there mistakes to them! And God forbid an amateur might actually know something that they don't! One should never let their persistence and passion turn into stubbornness and ignorance. Sorry for hyperventilating but this is ridicules!
