Fallen Cliffs and Fallen Egyptians

The History Channel ran a special about the plagues of Egypt in biblical times. Read the biblical history here.

I had always known the Bible's historical and archaeological accuracy was incredible, but the History Channel brought this turtle to a new sense of amazement.

First, I did not know there was solid evidence of the Israelites coming to Egypt, of Joseph being a Hebrew with the Egyptian royal power as described in the Bible, as well as evidence of the plagues and the Exodus.

In fact they even found the Pharaoh they believe to be the father of the Pharaoh Moses dealt with. An artifact had writings about the "one true God" of the Hebrews that smited Egypt with the plagues.

The fun part was when they decided to show how the plagues could have been caused by natural events. The picture above is of Santorini, one of the most beautiful islands in Greece. The sheer cliffs that you see are due to an earthquake so violent that part of the island literally slid into the sea. This played a major role in the plagues of Egypt.

I won't hit the details but suffice it to say, that the History channel had "ideas" on how all the plagues could be caused. The interesting part to me is how some scientists/scholars give great credence to the history of the Bible...except of course the God part. Imaging the coincidence that would have had to occur for the Bible history to be true (which they proved) without God being involved?

Bottom line - if you are struggling with God and His existence, know that he does leave his mark - sometimes it small and barely noticeable, other times, well, it's as giant as the cliffs on an island.

Thanks, History Channel people.
