There are some things that just have to be taken on faith. The need to explain God's miracles and power in view of our finite understanding is senseless. Attempting to explain how natural phenomenon could lead to the plagues or the crossing of the Red Sea ultimately just undercuts our faith. "Dispute not because you see not."

I agree, but it's still a wonderful feeling to point to the skeptics and say, "See, it happened, just the way they wrote it did!!!"

Your statement is a classic example of willfully self-imposed ignorance cloaked as "faith". If that is a true statement of your beliefs, then, you would be right at home in 7th-century Islam.

Only if your faith is weak.
