Maybe my logic will brand me an Atheist BUT did the notion of using a soft metal such as gold to make chariot wheels seem just a bit odd & impractical?
Y'know...sand & rocky ground...soft metal wheels...charging into battle...
Let us also keep in mind that if we ever found out something like this sea crossing did truly happen it wouldn't even necessarily prove "God" is real. Hell for all we know it was super advanced aliens helping them out. It's no less crazy then "magic guy did it". A lot of imagery in the bible could actually be seen as the people of the times interpretation of advanced technology they witnessed.
If Jesus teleported to my house right now and began raising the dead and turning water into wine I would...shout "zombie" and then "kill it with fire!". No I'm kidding, but I'd be convinced it was the real deal if I saw that.

Most people believe Evolution not because they themselves are dumb, but cause they trust the "experts" who are feeding them evolutionary fast food, and so they don't bother questioning whether or not it's true.
I'd rather not. Which is why I decided to put the troll on ignore a while back.

It was actually while I was posting on Herochat during the brief time I was banned that I finally discovered it.

You're right, of course. However reading the article and especially seeing the evidence with my own eyes in the dvd filled me with joy. Experts have said that any novice could tell that the coral formations discovered on the bottom of sea where the crossing took place are not normal by any means. They very much resemble chariot parts. Both in shape and size. They also discovered a chariot wheel made out of gold (or silver, I don't recall which one) which they believe was one of the wheels of the Pharaoh's royal chariot. Good eye-opening stuff.
Btw, I watched the modern remake of The Ten Commandments recently. It wasn't nearly as good as the 1956 original with Charlton Heston. The parting of the Red Sea scene in particular was a huge let down from the original scene.

I agree. The Charlton Heston version was by far the best version. Bible movies were always better back then. I hate how Hollywood butchured the Noah film.
Still haven't seen that yet but I heard about all the controversy it caused because it didn't mention God anywhere in the film.

Yep, because if something "very much resembles" something it must be what you think it is. That is of course how a true expert would operate, he would just make vague statements about how it might resemble something.

That's how it usually works. Evolution is "pseudoscience" and the process with which we discern how old things are is circular logic, but then when anything, no matter how vague or unproven, seems to align with religion or a story from the bible, it is fact.
My favourite things are true and you're aren't by the same logic. Shut up.
