New Theory of the Miracle Parting of the Red Sea !

"Computer simulations show how the movement of wind could have parted the waters of the Red Sea.

New computer simulations have shown how the parting of the Red Sea, as described in the Bible, could have been a phenomenon caused by strong winds.

The account in the Book of Exodus describes how the waters of the sea parted, allowing the Israelites to flee their Egyptian pursuers.

Simulations by US scientists show how the movement of wind could have opened up a land bridge at one location.This would have enabled people to walk across exposed mud flats to safety. The results are published in the open-access journal Plos One.

The researchers show that a strong east wind, blowing overnight, could have pushed water back at a bend where an ancient river is believed to have merged with a coastal lagoon."

"When I return the world the world will be as indifferent to the things of God as the people were in Noah's day. They ate and drank and married -- everything just as usual right up to the day when Noah went into the Ark and the flood came and destroyed them all," Luke 17:26-27 (TLB)
