Since others have brought up archeology and the Exodus, I'm interested in your views regarding the information in the videos below (regarding what things you're aware of in terms of reliability). If others know any serious responses to this information they're welcome to share too (not blanket statements that it's nonsense or ad hominems and such, something that adresses the finds and lab results in detail, especially regarding the rather unique composition of the sulphur or brimstone balls mentioned in the last set of videos).
The video below I'm only interested in your views regarding the first 24 minutes (it has a few more details than the video above about the possible Red Sea crossing site).
In the video below I'm particularly interested in someone adressing the manner in which these sulphur or brimstone balls are found (the rain pattern, or perhaps someone that can demonstrate what other deception might possibly be going on there that might suggest these balls actually did not fall on that rock in a rain pattern from the air).
And this video is just bonus for everyone who hasn't seen it yet:

Again your just stating that the bible knew this ahead of time with no proof.
And one scripture stating that the earth "hangs on nothing" is not proof of anything. The earth isn't hanging. It is spinning in orbit. The bible does not mention this at all. Try again.
"God stretched out the northern sky and hung the earth in empty space." - Job 26:7 GNT
[Job 26:7 KJV] 7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Also since I'm in a generous mood tonight here is another one for you
Ecclesiastes 1:5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and then hastens back to its place of rising.
So according to the author of Ecclesiastes it us the sun that is moving. We know better now that the earth moves. If a supreme being were responsible for that book of the bible he either failed or it a just man made stories. Take your pick.

That is proof of nothing. Anyone can look outside and say the earth hangs on "nothing"
If the bible said "God spins the earth in its orbit around the Sun and in accordance with the other planets" then you might have a case.
The whole earth could not be flooded as the bible states. Not could all the animals be taken on the Ark. Nor could they get along if they did. What would the lions and tigers and bears do?
In exodus it states that the first born in every Egyptian household was killed by God. The Egyptians would have had a record of this if it were true.
Samson killing 1,000 people by himself with a jawbine? I think not.
Your arhuement for the bible fails. Sorry.
Thus, God is not the "god of the gaps" as some ignorantly refer to Him. No but He is the God of the WHOLE show
9 But the Lord God called out to the man. “Where are you?” he asked. 10 “I heard you in the garden,” the man answered. “I was afraid, because I was naked. So I hid.” 11 The Lord God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten fruit from the tree I commanded you not to eat from?” 12 The man said, “It’s the fault of the woman you put here with me. She gave me some fruit from the tree. And I ate it.”
