8. There is a DVD called "Exodus Decoded" which explains and
proofs all the events mentioned in Exodus (The Ten Plagues and the
parting of the Sea) scientifically. This documentary was the result
of research of secular scientists.
10. Get your
hands on a Bible and try to prove it wrong by research. You will
find you will end up proving it right instead. That is my challenge
to all the skeptics.
8. I think I saw a similar one of Discovery channel, where winds
blew the waters in the Red Sea away to reveal dry land, and the ten
plagues being explained by this:
The pfisteria theory provides one explanation of the first six
plagues.
In 1999 an environmental catastrophe happened in the town of New
Burn, North Carolina. The residents woke up to find the waters of
their river - the Neuse - had turned red. More than a billion fish
died. People working near the river found that they were covered in
sores.
The cause of this was found to be pollution. The pollution had come
from a pig farm further up the river. Millions of gallons of
pig-waste had found its way into the river, causing a genetic
mutation in a marine micro-organism called pfisteria; turning it
from harmless into lethal. The river had been poisoned.
John Marr, an epidemiologist specialising in environmental
disasters, believes pollution in ancient Egypt could have caused
the first six plagues. Pfisteria, or something like it, caused the
fish to die, thus turning the river red; the pollution would have
driven the frogs onto the land, on land the frogs would die,
causing an explosion of flies and lice. The flies could then have
transmitted viral diseases to livestock, killing them.
And on May 17th 1980, in the North West of America, Mount St Helens
volcano erupted, killing everything within 20 miles. Ash columns
were ejected into the atmosphere, circling the globe within two
weeks and causing complete darkness over a radius of 100 miles.
Could a natural phenomenon on this scale have triggered the
plagues?
John Marr, epidemiologist, thinks that fall-out of volcanic ash
could have produced a toxic bloom of algae in the River Nile; thus
setting off a chain of events similar to those produced by
pfisteria.
The thing is, doesn't this just show that no divine intervention
is required for these events to occur? And if these events do
signify the presence of a god, who was God trying to kill off this
time in the above 2 cases?
10. It's slow, but hold on. My typing isn't very good. =P
