Red Sea Parting a Mirage?



A Pennsylvania State University physicist suggested that the biblical story of the parting of the Red Sea may have been the result of a desert mirage.

The physicist, Dr. Alistair Fraser, said Christ walking on water also could have been a mirage.
He made his comments at a meeting of the Optical Society of America.

Dr. Fraser told the meeting there were photographs that reproduced both phenomena. He said the biblical description of the Red Sea crossing was a particularly accurate picture of a mirage.

Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts . . . – 2 Peter 3:3
