Answer 1

The term "Red" Sea originally meant "Reed" Sea. The Reed Sea was an area of swamp covered by tall reeds. Parting the Reed Sea was little more than finding a route through a swamp.

Any interpretation based around an ocean being somehow held back by magic is just a product of this obsession with taking every word in the bible as absolute truth, even the spelling mistakes and mis-translations.

The word for "young lady" in hebrew was mis-translated into greek as "virgin" - and look where that got everyone.

Answer 2

I am not a christian and yet I believe that it has happened the way it has been described in Bible and also in Quran. Whether it was a marvelous weather freak event,or something else, it was in fact the act of God.
Whether it was a Red Sea or Reed Sea, there was water and it got parted to make way for Moses and his followers, and it happened exactly at the time when it was needed. Isn't this evidence that it was the act of God?
Also this fact is mentioned in greater detail in Holly Quran.Do go through the facts. Every act mentioned in the Holly Books has taken place and has been mentioned to be a learning lesson for us.
Yes the sea can be parted....as in the same way in which a baby gets delivered through an opening hardly admitting two fingers . Forgive me for being rude,but nothing is impossible for the Great Creator of this Universe. It is simply that man is not come to a level to understand many possiblities of this universe.

For Captain Bunkun....
Mary was a virgin...mother of Jesus.
if you do not believe it ask your mom.

Answer 3

1. seperation of water currents is not the same as seperation of water. This is like saying that the center of a tornado is a vacuum. It is not. In water this would be even harder than in air due to the extra pressure of water at >32 ft depth and the higher viscosity of water making it harder to keep moving.

2. YOu have to be kidding me about that link. a 3,500 year old wooden wheel lies perfectly on the sea floor. Come of it. Think for a few seconds in your life for once. The entire thing can not have be gilt, it would have quickly worn off the rim and outer part of the wheel and of the axle bearing, The wood would have completely rotted away. Even the slightest of currents would have broken up and scattered gold leaf over thousands of years, but here is this silvery (!) shiny perfect wheel.

Pull the other one, it has bells on.

Answer 4

Why didn't the Bible just say a tornado parted the Red Sea, then?

Either it happened the way it was described in the Bible, or it didn't. The only evidence of this fantastic story is in the Bible. You could postulate that a tornado or something parted the Red Sea, but there is no evidence that will ever support this idea.

Answer 5

The problem with this theory is that there is no evidence to support it. Indeed, there is no evidence to support any part of the Exodus story; the Egyptian records show nothing of this, and they kept records of everything. See:

Answer 6

And the Israelites some how survived passing through a massive tornado. . .

Answer 7

From what I read, I think Moses waved his hand, and then THE NEXT MORNING they cross. So hardly an instant miracle. In fact, it sounds more like the normal workings of ebb and flood.

Answer 8

It's a bit pointless to try to shoehorn religious mythology into the real world. Just accept it for what it is - charming fiction.

Answer 9

You could have used spell check. It's obvious!

Answer 10

Or, it was just a natural phenomenon that had no divine basis.

Whichever.
