Just as a side note. A group of oceanographers has described a hypothetical model under which prevailing local winds, combined with the existance of a underwater 'ridge' could have lead to the 'separation' of the sea.

Hi Glenn,

The same way the Israelites could survive crossing "through the sea on
dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left."
(Exodus 14:25) Since you believe that God held the seawater up in two
vertical walls with dry ground between, why is it so hard for you to
believe that Noah could live through a few meteor impacts and some
stinky gases? Why do you ascribe to God the power to perform a miracle
for the Israelites but not for Noah? Why are you being so ---
inconsistent? :-)
