“What this study shows is that the description of the waters parting indeed has a basis in physical laws."

NewCan those physical laws also

Wed, 09/22/10
Can those physical laws also explain how the previously waterlogged ground could dry enough for (conservatively) 2 million people and their animals to walk safely across?

Maybe I’m just naive, but I get so confused at people trying to “prove the biblical account true” using natural methods. They really do completely miss the point.

NewExplanation

The second video clip in the article gives some explanation for the dry ground part (also here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itox6Zn_1G0).

I don’t see them as “proving the Biblical account true” here. It simply is an observation of a possible means that the account could fit within natural laws, not unlike imagining the circumstances surrounding the Flood. This certainly isn’t redemptive information, but it is interesting research.
