FAITH OR SCIENCE

Chariot wheel at the site of the Red Sea crossing
(Wyatt Archaeology)

My family came to visit me from England last weekend. We were having dinner in a local restaurant and I was talking to one of my brothers about faith and science. He was telling me he will believe something if it's scientifically proven and was talking about a documentary he had seen on the Discovery channel. This programme dealt with the plagues that God had inflicted on Egypt when the pharoah refused to let Moses and the Israelites go free. For example He had made the Nile turn red and He had sent a plague of locusts on Egypt. These were both scientifcally proven to be caused by a local volcano that was erupting at the time. The parting of the Red Sea was caused by plates in the earth's crust moving at the time of the crossing.

I believe God wants us to believe without proof. This is the essence of faith - believing without seeing. I think it is for this reason that the biblical discoveries of amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt are not widely known. He is now passed away but has left an amazing website:

If you click on the above link, you can read about where the remains of Noah's Ark have been found, and the location of the Red Sea Crossing, among other things. Animal hairs and rivets have been found on the Noah's Ark site. Chariot wheels (see above photo) have been found at the bottom of the Red Sea where the Egyptians chased after the Israelites and were drowned as the waters came crashing down on them. This site will encourage and edify those who already have faith. And for those doubting Thomases, like my brother, Ron Wyatt's findings should give ample proof that the Bible is true. RP - 17/3/07
