It would only be plausible if manna and water from rocks was plausible, because there is no other way millions of people and animals could survive in the desert - not when the population of Egypt, the most productive farmland of the world, was only 3 million at that time.
I'm curious as to this 'manna'; what it supposedly was and where it cane from. I wonder if Drich subscribes to the Velikovsky idea that it was a by-product of the planet Venus, after it was birthed from Jupiter's Great Red Spot and went bouncing arong the Solar System like every shot I make in a game of pool? Supposedly, it passed by Earth twice, the first time causing the Red Sea to divide (because, y'know - gravity is magic) then later, when it made chemical changes in our atmosphere and magically invented this edible, nourishing 'manna' which fell out of the clouds just where and when the script needed it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
