Recent research has revealed that the Biblical story of Moses parting the Red Sea can be explained using natural phenomena. Scientists suggest that a combination of strong winds and favorable geology could have created a dry pathway through the water, allowing the Israelites to escape. Specifically, computer models indicate that winds of 62 mph could have opened a channel 3 miles wide. Oceanographer Carl Drews emphasized that while the crossing seems miraculous, it incorporates natural components where the timing was crucial for success.
In reality, computer modelling shows that a strong wind of 62 mile per hour (100kmph) winds blowing from the right direction could open a 3-mile-wide (5km) channel through the water.
Carl Drews, an oceanographer from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, told MailOnline: 'The crossing of the Red Sea is a supernatural phenomenon that incorporates a natural component - the miracle is in the timing.'
