Also here is another cool website...

Scroll Down and you will see Pictures of skeletal remains and Chariot remains that are authentic to that exact time period of Egypt.

On diving down to the sea bed, in 1978, Ron Wyatt and his two sons found and photographed numerous coral encrusted chariot parts. Several dives since then have revealed more and more evidence. One of his finds included an eight spoke chariot wheel, which Ron took to the director of Egyptian Antiquities, Dr. Nassif Mohammed Hassan. After examining it he immediately announced it to be of the eighteenth dynasty, dating the exodus to 1446 BC. When asked how he knew this Dr. Hassan explained that the eight spoke wheel was only used during this period, the time of Ramases II and Tutmoses (Moses). Chariot boxes, human skeletal remains, four, six and eight spoke chariot wheels all lie as a silent testimony to the miracle of the parting of the Red Sea

here is just a few

The bible is amazing isnt it?  it told us that the Red Sea could be parted before Man discovered it himself with Science.  And rightly so... God would know if his own sea could part or not.

Depending on the weather and tidal movements, the reef could have been exposed for hours at a time.

"If the wind blew all night at a speed of 30 meters (about 98 1/2 feet) per second, then the reef would be dry," Volzinger told The Moscow Times. "It would take the Jews

Perhaps somebody witnessed this amazing occurrence and exaggerated it into a fantasy like the biblical story of Moses. This does not attribute any credibility or "amazingness" to your bible. It only shows how easily it could have been fabricated by creative authors. After all, the people back then often made stories out of occurrences, to try and explain, or for their own pleasures.

And the chariots found at the bottom of the Red Sea are pretty interesting, yet do not add any evidence to the biblical story. Perhaps a chariot sunk there, or did fall in when the Sea parted, even perhaps during Moses' time, it still does not prove anything else mentioned in the bible. Think critically!

And would you like Lenny to explain how a man could live for 600 years?

i wasnt talking about any exagerrations,

[GUNWOUNDS]

as far as the 600 year old question ... i would want to look up the hebrew word for "years" and then do some research on what they considered a "year" as far as measuring age and see how they did so.  Translation and understanding  of culture is important.

I would not want to make the fallacy of calling Peter the color blue when in fact it meant he was sad.

Think critically

Where the hell is my English Bible?

Seas parting is a bit of an exaggeration when what we're really talking about would look like more of a low tide.

[erjin999]

Just a thought.

If you are saying that someone living for 600 years might not mean that the guy lived for 600 years, but might possibly be a mix up in the translation, then perhaps the translation is lacking somewhat. Surely it is the translators job to translate accurately, and if in Hebrew 600 years is something different, then a note should be added or even the translation be changed accordingly to stop any chance of what might possibly have happened here...Confussion..

I know you said you would/could look in to that possiblilty, and that it is not necessarily what happened, but I am saying that should not really be a possiblity.

And the biblical texts do contain some major scientific fallacies:  If I am not mistaken, one person was said to live for 600 (or something) years; and frankly, large seas do not just part for the hell of it.

Metusalah lived 969 years. A good reason for this could be that they were much, much closer to Adam and Eve (and thus much closer to perfection) then us.

[Acriku]

i wasnt talking about any exagerrations,  fabrications  or anything else you mentioned...

I said that the creative authors could have fabricated the Moses story, could have exaggerated the parting of seas, not you.

Duke Leto simply said it was impossible and i wanted to prove him  otherwise. Plain and simple.

And I objected. Plain and simple.

Also Egyptian Military Chariots just happened to be driving around in the middle of a Sea risking their lives for no reason at all so far away from their homeland eh?

*Chuckle*  yea think critically.

I wasn't living then, so I have no idea. You have no idea. Anything could have happened. You think what happened in the bible is what happened, now go ahead and prove it. Oh you can't? Damn.

It seems you only want to think critically (in other words question the translation of the words) when it hurts your argument. Just like I said before.

i still reckon it's not a miracle whether it can be explained scientifically or not, my feeling is, it's a miracle because there has been a load of bloody INCREDIBLE coincidences throughout the bible story and in the lives of many people who have turned to god.  that is the good stuff my friends.

Yeah, well, you can't prove it didn't happen, Acriku.

That, and everyone is going to start nitpicking the meanings of words and question seemingly-unimportant things when it will help them and they are in a pinch.

I am not saying that they could not have been that old.... i am saying i would like to research it and see what the ancient hebrew text meant exactly.

Aren't you forgetting something, though? In the Bible, because people were living for so long, didn't God impose a limit on lifespans of 120 years?

Well i am not familiar with that part of scripture.
