Exodus from Egypt
Hello Rabbi,
According to what we know, the demographics of the Egyptian population in the years leading up to the Exodus were no more than 4-5 million people,
While in the Exodus from Egypt, about 6 million people left together with the Arab Rabbi!
This means that realistically, all of Egypt will leave with the Jews, and there will still be a million people missing….
So actually, in principle, it doesn't make sense. It's really an overdraft of people.
What does the Rabbi say about the above evidence against the truths of Judaism?
Does the rabbi know the argument?

Well, the wording "proof against the truth of Judaism" is a bit bombastic.
There are accounts within the Torah that show that the number of those who left is probably not real (accounts of the number of firstborns and more). It is possible that the number 600,000 is typological, as the Maharal writes, meaning that the entire community left. But in reality it is a few thousand.
Beyond that, these historical accounts themselves require careful examination, as there is much speculation in these areas. In particular, it must be examined whether slaves were included in the total number or whether they only counted the citizens.
