Now for the Smackdown
A Swedish scientist who believes the Red Sea was split says while Humphreys is correct about the Aqaba crossing, there are no natural, scientific explanations for the parting miracle described in Scripture.
You are no different that the Swedish "scientist" in that your personal biases limit you from considering that a "miracle" is not a freak natural phenomina but is divine intervention in the natural order.
...these type of people continue to ignore the reality of evolution even with the gargantuan quantity of evidence supporting it.
This is an arrogant and insulting statement that is hurling elephants. Here you can't possibly accept anything that doesn't have a natural explanation, but you will instantly believe in matter out of nothing, a series of uncaused causes, impossible odds, information out of nothing, abiogenesis, and despite the "gargantuan quantity of evidence" there still is no "missing link", or the required "transitional fossils" for the support of macro-evolution. Why do you think many have abandoned Darwin to pick up on PE and other God hating theories?
If you hate the idea of God and you dislike Christians so much that you must insult them even on an interesting and objective article such as this, should we conclude that your faith in the god of Chance is harder for you to believe and you find solace in attacking random strangers to you who may be right?"
2 Peter 3:3-6 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished...
Here nearly two thousand years ago, a simple fisherman already predicted those who would scoff at Christians, believe in the unsubstantiated hypothesis of uniformitarianism, will deliberately exclude from any consideration Divine Intervention, and come up with bogus ideas of origins...
You may wish to believe the paid liars in the school house. But just because you are easily persuaded to believe the lie doesn't mean that others should be forced to be duped in the same dreck. Let them choose their own. The theory of evolution gave us eugenics a system of subjective morality that leans heavily towards destructive perversion, devaluing of life, and worship of self and the god of Materialism. Evolution gives license to communism and tyranny. Exactly what kind of evil comes forth from believing that an Egyptian chariot wheel may be in the Gulf of Aqaba?
None, although nearly all of the artifacts on the ocean floor are the result of shipwrecks.
I find discussion of the Exodus fascinating, mainly because I don't know what to make of it.
Biblical scholars and Egyptologists have searched in vain for any evidence that the Exodus occurred or that Jews were even in Egypt at that time. There is nothing which even begins to confirm the biblical story in any Egyptian writing, artifact, or anything else.
That is not proof that the Exodus is the equivalent of an urban legend, but it does make you wonder.
Sure there is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thera_eruption
Like about 25,000 Mt. St. Helen's worth of explanations.
I'll wager there have been more debates about this subject here than anything else since the founding of FreeRepublic. Like Delbert said in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, "I'm with you fellers".
Let me offer my personal favorite, that which is above and beyond debate:
"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."
3 What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.
8 All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.
11 There is no remembrance of men of old, and even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow.
