Quote:The Biblical story about the parting of the Red Sea may really have happened - with a little help from some freak weather conditions, say researchers.
A new computer modelling study, using information from the time, suggests that a powerful wind could have divided the waters, allowing Moses and the Israelites to escape Egypt.
A computer was used to simulate the impact of a strong overnight wind on the six-foot high waters.
The researchers found an east wind of 63mph blowing for 12 hours would have driven the shallow waters back, both into the lake and the river channel.
A "land bridge" two miles long and three miles wide would have been created by the retreating waters and it would have lasted for four hours - enough time for the Israelites to cross safely.

Note that this article does not mention the need for divine intervention and the supposed place where this "miracle" happened is not in the Red Sea but an area of the Nile Delta region nearby. However, I will not be surprised if some theist morons attribute these "findings" as "proof" that their fairy tale is true and backed by science.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
