"Point I was making is an earthquake is not mentioned in Genesis."

I assume you mean "Exodus" and that was just an unintentional slip.

There was lots of non-biblical material included in the movie "The 10 Commandments". If the authors want to suggest God used an earthquake to part the sea that doesn't bother me - especially if it occurs in response to Moses' lifting of his rod.
