No, my religious belief is not an accident of my birth. (Incidentally, as a university instructor of comparative religion, this is the exact same question I ask my students. But, somehow I think you knew that.) Anyway, my Web page details my background as to why I believe in the Bible. (www.firpocarr.com). I spent years researching, studying, and traveling before I concluded—with a strong undying faith—that the Bible is indeed the Word of God, which brings me to your next point: the parting of the Red Sea. Although you call it “nonsense,” certain scientists are not so dismissive.
"New Scientist [magazine] reported that two physicists at the University of Tokyo applied an extremely strong magnetic field to a horizontal tube partially filled with water. The water rushed to the ends of the tube, leaving the middle section dry. The phenomenon, discovered in 1994, works because water is weakly diamagnetic, repelled by a magnet. The established phenomenon of water moving from where a magnetic field is very high to where it is lower has been dubbed The Moses Effect. New Scientist noted: 'Pushing water around is easy—if you have a big enough magnet. And if you do, then nearly anything is possible.'”...
"As to miracles in the Bible, Akira Yamada, professor emeritus of Kyoto University in Japan, says: “While it is correct to say that [a miracle] cannot be understood as of now from the standpoint of the science in which one is involved (or from the status quo of science), it is wrong to conclude that it did not happen, simply on the authority of advanced modern physics or advanced modern Bibliology. Ten years from now, today’s modern science will be a science of the past. The faster science progresses the greater the possibility that scientists of today will become the target of jokes, such as "Scientists of ten years ago seriously believed such and such."’—Gods in the Age of Science."
When God takes over, all wars will cease. (Ps. 46:9) Other blessings will follow.
