So...basically they are disproving that it was a miracle of God that caused the sea to part? Sounds like someone's deity is nothing but a charlatan.

Heh, no kidding. I might keep that link to myself if I were you Mag. Your link just implicitly stated that the parting of the red sea was not in fact a miracle, because by definition it cannot be explainable by reason and science and still be a miracle. Now, you might be saying to yourself "But this proves the bible is true!" but don't forget all the other inconsistencies, such as cities that never existed, people that never existed, and a whole slew of conflicting statements and lies. ...NEXT?!

An exercize in wasting time, given that history shows us there never was a mass exodus of the jews. The problem with biblical prehistory is that the jews were real late comers in the written language world - everyone else was writing things down while they were still in oral tradition. The jews are STILL in northern Egypt today.

The miraculous part being that God had this particular natural phenomenon happen at just the precise right time to allow the Jews to cross.

That's assuming you think the Jews did cross. And besides, coincidences do happen, unless one is paranoid. Then it is all a large and deeply complex conspiracy to destroy you.
