The defining definitions of myth, tru and legend were inconsistent throughout the quiz.

Many things are misnamed. If it is a fact it is also history. What it the difference between legend or myth neither can be proved to have happened.

i realize this will upset some readers, but I take exception to the answer to Q#11, the 10 plagues, as being fact.

The plagues... history?! Not even the old Egyptians nor the Greeks or other antic cultures confirmed something like that to ever happen.

There is no historical evidence of the Israelites ever being in Egypt.
