Originally posted by checkbaiterWell, questioning the evidence is the rational thing to do. The investigators do seem a bit overzealous in their claims ("irrefutable evidence" ). There's no refuting that this is evidence of something, but it's probably premature to call their interpretation of the evidence 'irrefutable''. It's a cool story, but there are red flags everywhere in this article.
Go figure...

There's a giant cairn, without a doubt man-made, at the bottom of the Dead Sea.
Of course, many thousands of years ago the land under the Dead and Red Seas were high and dry, and fit for human habitation. Now...not so much.
The evidence is strong that most ancient flood myths are based on some truth, as sea levels rose dramatically around the world after the last Ice Age came to an end and most humans at the time lived close to some body of water.
Oh, but obviously some clown in rags waving his wang and causing the waters of the Red Sea to part at his command is by far the more rational explanation. Consider me a convert.

Originally posted by SoothfastThe Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground."
Yeah. Well, anything he had left after the circumcision, anyway...
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
(Exodus 14:15-16, 21 NKJV)
Experts at the National Center for Atmospheric Research are hypothesizing that seven hours of 60 mph winds could have exposed miles of mud flats in the Red Sea, allowing the Chosen Ones to escape. Was an "act of God" really nothing but terrible weather?
The reaction: If you're a believer in the Bible, says Dave at Aloha Howdy, "get ready to throw up on your shoes." Why do so-called "educated people" feel the need to debunk all of God's miracles?

Originally posted by RJHindsTurning the Red Sea into a replica of the local canal complete with old car wrecks is a miracle? OK, now I know why I prefer the Flying Spaghetti Monster, he isn't nearly as messy.

Originally posted by sonhouseThere is nothing said about us believing in a forklift mechanic. The following is a video made by one of the original explorers in finding these wheels.

Here is another video about this discovery from guess who?
P.S. I thought the background history of the Exodus was good on the first video for those, like yourself, that have no idea what the Holy Bible says about history.
