Proof God parted the red sea for Moses. -

Praise Jesus. It is good news that computers can prove the stories of the bible.

Computer model shows how the Red Sea may have parted for Moses
* By Helen Davidson

COMPUTER modelling has explained how the Red Sea parted for Moses and the Israelites escaping from the Pharoah.
The story, told in biblical writings and in the Koran, describes an east wind blowing the water apart, leaving a dry tract of land for the group to flee across.
When the Pharoah's army tries to follow, the walls of water rush back and drown the soldiers.
While this sounds like fantasy, an American research team at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University of Colorado at Boulder has created a computer simulation model to show that given the right circumstances, it is possible that the waters did indeed part for Moses.
The computer simulations, part of a greater study on how wind affects water, have shown that with a strong east wind blowing overnight at a bend where a river merges with a lagoon, the waters would be pushed back, exposing a land bridge for a short time.
It is due to a phenomenon known as a "wind setdown" where a strong and persistent wind can push a body of water and "pile it up" downwind.
Carl Drew who led the study, says in a video that this phenomenon is well-known, but to re-enact the biblical story, "the tricky part is to get water on both sides of the crossing".
They found that at a point where a river bends to merge with a coastal lagoon, the water "splits at the point of the bend".
"So there's water on both sides and a bunch of refugees can come walking or running across," he said.
Such a place occurred in the ancient Eastern Nile Delta.
Mr Drews and CU oceanographer Weiqing Han analysed archaeological records, satellite measurements and maps and applied the data to ancient topography of an area of the Nile Delta which they believed provided both the right geographical conditions and a plausible site for the Bible story.
Mr Drews told news.com.au that he ran 14 simulation experiments. "They tested various configurations of the geography and the wind (direction and speed). The short answer is that the crossing has some tolerance to variations, but not a whole lot. It's a rare event."
They found that if the wind blows for 12 hours at 63 miles per hour (just over 101km/h) it would push back nearly two metres of deep water.
This would expose mud flats for four hours, creating a safe passage for Moses and the Israelites.
This in turn would push the water into the lake and the channel of the river, creating the two walls of water.
When asked, Mr Drews said he had not had any reactions from church groups as yet. "The overwhelming reaction is that people are fascinated that a 3,000-year-old story, one they've heard about and seen in movies, has a real scientific basis in physical laws."

Praise Jesus! Wind for 12 hours at 63 mph could move water in the Nile river delta two meters!
Imagine how much wind it would have taken to part a sea.
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

Well it is obvious God Parted the seas for Moses, it is clearly stated in the Bible, you can't compete with that.

How right you are. But some people think the bible is a work of fiction. So now that computers can validate the bible some non-believers are left with egg on their face!
2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land Australia.

Now, once they find archaeological evidence that the Jews were held as slaves in Egypt, and that the Exodus occurred, well, then nobody would question ANY part of the Bible again!
Bible boring? Nonsense!

Why do they have to "scientifically prove" that this is possible? They're always going around trying to take the miracle out of the Biblical miracles, I guess so that they can destroy the image of God as all powerful.
God wanted the waters to spread, so they spread. I don't think the Hebrews sat around while it went down at a rate of 1 meter every 6 hours. I think the Pharaohs army could of caught up with and slaughtered them by then.
I have to stick with the imagery provided to us in the movie "The Ten Commandments".

I will never trust those atheist scientists!!
Because i dont use my brain to love Jesus. I use my heart and that is everything i need!
Proverbs 3
5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Hebrews 1129
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
See, the Angels killed the Egyptians in Gods order. Praise the Lord.
Revelation 71
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Mark 4
39And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

actually atheists don’t say everything in the bible is fiction. They say God doesn’t exist. Just because something in the bible is true, does not make God real. Just because something in the bible is fake, does not make God fake. The existence of God does not make the bible true. God didn’t write the bible, people did.
A scientist can be a Christian and still recognize that bad science is still bad science. You can not truly believe in something until you have thought about it.

Let's make one thing clear about the Red Sea and Moses.
It was not the JOOS that were enslaved in Egypt. It was Anglo-Saxon ancestors and the JOOS were the ones that blocked them trying to escape.
The Bible PROVES IT!!
"Come Unto Me. Put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath." (Matthew 19:14, Job 1:11).

Funny thing - you can never imagine the joos being slaves. They were more likely to buy and sell slave futures or run a pyramid scheme or a bullrush hedgefund.
