A whole lot of things seem to have happened at precisely the time Moses came back from being in the desert.

What a lucky guy!

Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, poison clouds!

Did someone say, "Lucky?"!

And Moses got Pharoah to believe it was an invisible God doing it all!

The one about the bridge rising from the "Reed Sea" at precisely the time the Jews were in need of it was an especially nice touch.

Oh, and the resulting tsunamis that wiped out Pharoah's army and chariots was much better than an earlier version that would have required thousands of grown men in chariots drowning in a foot of water that closed in on them.

Can't wait for the next explanantion of how to make clothes and sandals last for 40 years. Better yet, in a manna of speaking, how to get people to fit in the same clothes for 40 years.

just a bump...as the show is about to air (8PM Eastern; Sunday 8-20-06)

Thanks for the bump. I did watch the program and like N.Theknow, was surprised (not!) at the coincidence that so many series of extraordinary events just happened to take place at precisely the moment when they were needed.

As my pastor commented this morning ....

"For those with faith, no explanation is needed; for those without faith, no explanation is sufficient.

Actually-- he says it was carbon dioxide, which is not poisonous. It is heavier than other components of air and can, in the rare event of its being released in concentrated form, displace the oxygen in the air thus causing suffocation. It happened at Lake Nyo in the Cameroons recently and, to my own knowledge, happened in the United States near a lake I once camped at-- Horseshoe lake near Mammoth Lakes in the Sierra Nevada mountains-- I don't think anyone was killed in Mammoth Lakes but a geologist lost consciousness because the carbon dioxide, which was being emitted from the mountain was concentrated and cut down the oxygen content of the air-- as to why it was the first born only who were killed, the film's thesis is that in Egyptian culture first born males were given favored treatment and one aspect of that was being allowed to sleep on beds on the first floor while others slept on roofs. Because the carbon dioxide is heavy it only kills those animals and persons closer to the ground. Those sleeping higher up are spared. Far from being a challenge to faith, this program is meant to prove that bibilically described events really did happen. How often has something perfectly explainable in natural terms occurred at a time that was so propitious that you have exclaimed, It's like a miracle-- it has happened to me, more than once. Do you not see the hand of God in such events? I do. On the deepest level. That level that says , without thinking, Thank God.

A little over the top with the special effects, but a good show.

I'm a Bible believing ger tzedek. Though the lack of artifacts that would have sustained such a large population in the Sinai, wasn't even touched on.

Agreed. Are naysayers implying that God is incapable of using natural occurring events and scientific principles to create miracles?

Is a child’s birth any less of a miracle now that we know details of reproduction?

Is a rainbow any less of a miracle now that we understand that raindrops act as tiny prisms?

Is a solar eclipse any less of a miracle if we understand orbital mechanics and optical physics?

Science is not a threat to God, and God is not a threat to science. But there are those who use this false divide to keep people ignorant of the true nature of both.
