I had a Southern Baptist co-worker send me an article once about how overwhelming new evidence was cropping up that the Red Sea was parted by gawd so the Isrealites could escape the Pharaoh. The evidence? A single chariot wheel found in the Red Sea somewhere near where it's believed (by christers) that they crossed.
You should have seen the blank look he gave me when I pointed out that a single chariot wheel was by no means evidence and that despite the Pharaoh taking his entire fucking army and never returning, the Egyptians never noticed he was gone. Exactly like when our President took the entire US Army and chased off after the Soviets and never returned.
It's truly amazing the simple things that will leave the faith heads at a complete loss for words, because they've never bothered to question the veracity of anything their local shaman or their holey book tells them.
