A Russian scientist says the God who created the heavens and the earth needed a shallow reef and a stiff wind to part the Red Sea and get the Jews through.
I translated his metric figures into data the National Weather Service and the Eisenhower Interstate System can understand. He believes that a 67 mile-per-hour wind blew across a shallow, 4 1/3 mile-long Red Sea reef in order to get 600,000 Jews across in 4 hours. The waters would return back in a half-hour, he says.
Hmm. Would near-hurricane force winds tend to whoosh 600,000 people (probably some animals too) through a difficult pass, or would it more likely complicate their ability to walk or run (or even stand up)? And in sand (or mud or something really squishy)?
The scientist says his theory is strictly from Isaac Newton’s point of view, but I think it more likely came from Stolichnaya.
