Can science explain miracles or are they all caused by God? (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to these shows). Remember the scene in the Bible in Exodus 14:21-28, when the Israelites are escaping from the Egyptian chariots and Moses parts the waters of the Red Sea so they can run across it, then waves his hand so that the waters flow back again, scuttling the pursuing Egyptians? Science can sometimes help explain miracles and in the this case, researchers think a big wind could have done this.
Scientists who study the impact of wind on water say that a strong wind could push back waters from two ancient basins to create a temporary land bridge. They have come up with a computer model that explains the Exodus scenario.
Researcher Carl Drews says, “The simulations match fairly closely with the account in Exodus. The parting of the waters can be understood through fluid dynamics. The wind moves the water in a way that’s in accordance with physical laws, creating a safe passage with water on two sides and then abruptly allowing the water to rush back in.”
There’s a lot ore in our subscriber section than just our great radio shows! For instance, in Whitley’s Room, there are now several short (15 min.) discussions by Whitley Strieber on bible verses. The first covers the meaning of the phrase “because man goeth to his long home” in Ecclesiastes 12:5. It explains this enigmatic phrase in a startling and deeply moving way. The second in the series covers John 13: 34: “Love one another.” When Whitley begins talking about what the imposition of doctrine did at the Council of Nicea, this quickly becomes one of the most powerful discussions on any biblical passage you are going to hear. These brief fifteen minutes have the potential to free us from thousands of years of unacknowledged bondage to doctrine, and bring vivid new life to the experience of Jesus. The third is on the opening lines of Genesis (you’ve never heard an interpretation like THIS before)! In another, Whitley Strieber talks about how the Romans saw Jesus. Whitley uses the gospels and Roman history to explain what Jesus meant to them and why they executed him, and why they did it in the precise way that they did. And the latest is on the “marriage feast at Cana.”
