Blah, blah, blah. More non-believers taking their cheap shots.
A boy was relating the story of the Jews exodus from Egypt and got to the part about Moses parting the Red Sea when a (non-believer) teacher pointed out that Moses didn't really part the Red Sea but it was actually the Sea of Reeds and that tides and winds made the water only six inches deep.
The boy looked at him and said, "Wow! It's a miracle!"
The teacher, perturbed and told the boy that it was NOT a miracle and that natural forces were at work and it was just luck that the Jews got there.
The boy, unfazed, said, "Sure it was. God drowned all those Egyptians in only 6 inches of water!"

One of many good old stories. But would be more accurate if talked in terms of "Israelites" instead of Jews. There were no Jews in Egypt at that time, but there were Israelites. No people would be named "Jews" for another thousand years, and they would be only a tiny sub-set of several of the 12 tribes.
