Is there any scientific explanation for the opening of the Red Sea and Moses leading the children of Israel across the bottom?

Answer:

I don't know of any scientific explanation at all, I would say it had to be a miracle. There is, however, archaeological support for the Biblical account. Archaeologists have been looking in the wrong place for the last 3,000 years for the remains of Pharaoh's army at the Red Sea crossing. If you look at a map of the north end of the Red Sea you will see that it splits into two branches. The left branch is called the Gulf of Suez and the right branch is called the Gulf of Aqaba: The children of Israel did not cross at the Gulf of Suez. They traveled across the Sinai Peninsula and crossed over at the Gulf of Aqaba, which is also part of the Red Sea.

Ron Wyatt, (deceased) was a friend of mine from Nashville, Tennessee, researched the crossing of the Red Sea: He found two stone pillars, one on either side of the Gulf of Aqaba, erected and inscribed by Solomon to commemorate the Red Sea crossing. Across the bottom of the gulf between the two pillars is a path littered with the remains of gold-plated wooden chariots and chariot wheels not attached to their chariots, just as the Bible says in Exodus 14:25. God performed a miracle at the Red Sea, and there is evidence of the miracle. Ron's ministry, www.wyattmuseum.com, has a great video on this topic.
