"I have nothing to gain by attacks on your character"
You're right... you don't... so why keep trying?
"You believe your religion (namely, evolution)"
Evolution is not religion.... Evolution is based on observable, testable, verifiable fact.... religion, or faith if you will, requires and thrives on the absence of fact.... As Richard Dawkins puts it, "Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence."
"it dictates your paradigm of interpretive(sic.) evidence"
Not in the least....
"most viewpoints operate under the premise that the Exodus crossing..."
... never happened at all. If you really want to talk about MOST (scholarly... not he best choice of words) viewpoints.....
"under the premise that I believe the Bible to be true"
Maybe that's the stumbling block right there....
Cause belief alone doesn't make fact..... Otherwise I'd be able to fly.... and I'd have a MUCH bigger.... wallet... ya... wallet.... than I currently do....
