Red Sea Parting Pronounced Possible By Study

Russian mathematicians have calculated that the parting of the Red Sea was possible using the laws of physics.

Hallelujah! It's possible! What would God do without man there to check up on Him?

Why does it have to be mathematically possible? Why do we have to define God by our own experiences? If we can't duplicate it, it's not possible?

God says He created the heavens (the universe) and the Earth and everything in them. He created all the laws that govern the creation. He did all this out of, as far as we are concerned, essentially nothing. What are we made of? What are atoms? What's in them? Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, Quarks, Gluons? Break them down and there's really nothing there. They are pure energy compacted into a physical form. We can barely begin to understand them (our very brightest scientists have devoted lifetimes to know what we know), let alone create them. God plainly says:

Isaiah 55:8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways, says Jehovah.

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.


God lives in a spiritual dimension, a completely different reality, which we know nothing about unless He tells us. And He hasn't told us much - what He has most people don't believe. He is not subject to the laws of physics, they are part of the physical creation. The physical creation is entirely subject to Him and He can create, manipulate or destroy it as He wills. Even time and death are a part of the physical creation, God is subject to neither, but man is.

1Peter 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of men as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls out,

We are born, we live and we die. That's essentially it - apart from God. Everything we do, everything we build, our thoughts and ideas - here today, gone tomorrow. In 100 years there no one will remember or care anything about us. Our greatest heroes are forgotten. We don't really know them. Some highlights perhaps - most everything gets twisted. Look at what is being taught in history books now about our country's forefathers compared to what was taught 30 years ago. They are different people now. Nothing is permanent in the physical creation - nothing.

Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, and keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man.

2Co 9:15 Thanks be to God for His unspeakable free gift.
