Summary As you may now, Christianity can be summarized as the belief in Jesus Christ but in a 'worship' state. It has been proven that Jesus Christ once lived and spread his religion throughout the Mid West but was he really the son of God? Christian Science allows a new view of Christianity giving more of an explanation of these miracles and giving a better understanding of worshiping God instead of going through blind fate. God tells us that we must have faith for our minds can not use the full potential that it possesses. Studies show that we as the human race use an average of ten percent of our brains on a daily basis. If we used even fifty percent, would we possibly have the capacity to intake all the knowledge that God has not given us?

Personal View I believe in God but not because I was raised in a Christian childhood nor is it because I read passages in the Bible and agreed with them. Some people say they believe in God because they felt that he 'reached' them but the reason still is not this. A lot of the reason that I believe in God is because it is nice to tell myself that there is someone up there watching my steps and keeping me on track. It is nice to know that there is always someone to talk too and admit my wrong-doings too. If the world was perfect and without sin, there would be no reason for believing in God because we would live by ourselves but the main reason I believe in God is because of past instances where great miracles or coincidences have happened. How most of these miracles that can be and have been proven, but I do not believe in the Bible for the sin of man could have easily corrupted the Bible over the past thousand years.

Red Sea Explanation The split of the Red Sea when Jesus Christ put out his hand calling power from God to split the Red Sea in two and allowing safe passage across it has been thoroughly researched by scientists. The main hypothesis on it splitting is called, 'wind setdown'. Wind setdown is when the wind blows strong enough for period of time moving water and causing a decrease in the natural water level. At the time, the wind could have blown long enough to move the water out of the way allowing a path across. The real miracle would be the timing of it happening.


It was MOSES who parted the REED Sea, not the Red sea (the original Hebrew texts are far more accurate than the Catholic-edited bibles). Furthermore, the parting of the reed sea was in accordance with the ten "plagues" that happened before it. It was all due to a volcanic eruption in the Greece area. It triggered a snowball-effect that ultimately led up to the Jews leaving Egypt and into Caanan. It all happened at the right place at the right time... lucky them. All of this has been proven to have happened and the Bible's account of it is just a primitive, dogmatic rendition of natural occurrences and blind chance.

God has never shown Himself to be real to me in any way and I still challenge him to do so... and have issued an ultimatum as well, saying that if he wants my faith and allegiance, he has to stop making me hate him (assuming he exists) and make himself absolutely real to me without doing it in a way that can otherwise be rationally explained. He has yet to get back to me.

Science and theology will most likely always be at odds due to Science's secularism and Christianity's emphasis on blind faith and dogma. Besides, as blasphemous as it sounds, I'd sooner believe God is a female, unless he can prove to me otherwise... and I also challenge him to make himself real to the rest of the scientific community and to those who look to it.

You actually believed the wind was strong enough to blow a whole sea far enough to reveal the bottom of it? That's some tough winds.

There is no historical evidence that the Jews were even ever in Egypt. I think this matter needs to be settled first, before we go on explaining the miracles of Moses. And explaining miracles is pointless, because if you explain it, it isn't a miracle any more, is it?
