Fascinating news in yesterday's newspaper suggested there may be some scientific proof for the parting of the red sea. This is obviously not the first time a fellow Christian has claimed a biblical event has scientific validity. Although evidence for our beliefs are not required this article is an interesting topic to think about and discuss.

In reality, wind, hydrodynamics and the unique topography of the Nile Delta may have had the same effect - with the same miraculous results for the Israelites....

Otherwise, one of the study's authors claims: "The simulations match fairly closely with the account in Exodus."
