having had some cool conversations with a geneticist friend of mine (at least i think he would be called that cos he works with genes – are you a geneticist the pevin?) i find it quite exciting when science and God match up (as, according to my beliefs they always will, because i believe that God created science or at least the things that science tries to explain) – i don’t like it when people try use natural occurances to explain away God but if this is the way it happened then for it to be happening at the very moment that moses and his bunch of israelites needed it to and stopped at the precise moment they needed it to, then i am quite happy to see it as a God and science and nature thing…
Yeah, it’s fair I suppose. But that kind of event combined with all of the plagues occuring all at the right times is not chance or co-incidence like so many scientists will settle for…
apparently there is no archaelogical evidence for the exodus? is that true?
Interesting piece. I’ve no problem with the hypothesis, and then the miracle becomes how so many people walked for so long in 100 km/h winds…
I have similar views on the science and religion debates. Interesting book to read and discuss with your genetics buddy is ‘the language of God’ by Francis Collins (was head of the human genome project).
