вЂњIt looks like red wine,вЂќ remarked Nootdorp resident Mark Ruder to the NetherlandsвЂ™ Telstar Online.В вЂњIt is probably an algae,вЂќ Ruder speculated, вЂњbut in our region that just does not happen.вЂќДavid Dilling, an American living in the Netherlands who captured the odd phenomenon on video, however, described the canal waters as turning a вЂњblood-red, biblical color.вЂќД«iblical scholars claim that scientific explanations for the phenomenon are of secondary importance to the fact that God said water would turn red at the beginning of the end times. The phenomenon has prompted some to remember Biblical prophecies of water turning to blood. Officials in western Siberia have not yet released the results of a barrage of tests on samples taken from the river, but state-owned news agency Itar-Tass has labelled the incident a вЂњ Biblical bombshellвЂќ.ДЄnd itвЂ™s not just Russia.В In Nootdorp, in the Netherlands, canal water has turned a deep red, leaving locals puzzled. We have never dealt with this before so we are waiting for the results of tests.вЂќ He miraculously created those physical laws, and He can miraculously use them or override them as He chooses.A spokesman for state watchdog Rosprirodnadzor said вЂњwe have no assumptions as to what it could be. We must be careful to avoid limiting our faith to only those acts of God that we can explain according to the laws of the physical world. These same disciples were eyewitnesses to the evidence of that miraculous event, an event for which there is no possible naturalistic explanation. Yet just a few years later, Jesus arose from the grave. The end of the storm was a natural event miraculously obeying a supernatural God. When, as recorded in the New Testament, Jesus calmed a storm on the Sea of Galilee, His disciples were amazed that the winds and the sea obeyed him ( The Bible gives us a record from the ultimate Eyewitness, the God of Creation. Besides, any such research can never ultimately prove or disprove what happened, and the only way we could know for sure is if there was an eyewitness account. Regardless of whatever results are found and ideas that are proposed, the researchers have accepted one part of the account in the Bible-that the Red Sea crossing by the Israelites really occurred-but they have already ruled out the rest of the account: that it was the result of a supernatural event. This current research involving computer modeling is based on the assumption that such an event has a naturalistic explanation, and that nothing supernatural was involved.

But there is no need to come up with a naturalistic explanation of a supernatural event. Yet, God used a force of nature-wind-to bring about this miracle. It was an extraordinary act of God ( Exodus 14). The parting of the Red Sea was a miracle. However, the existence of a physical explanation for a miraculous phenomenon is not necessary and the demand for one prior to believing a biblical miracle is foolhardy.ДЄsked to comment on the study, Ken Ham, President and CEO of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum, states the following: The wind setdown idea is not inconsistent with the biblical fact ( Exodus 14:21-22) that God caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night-after all, God created the wind and the water and can command them to behave as He chooses.

On the one hand, the wind setdown concept is somewhat more refreshing than the popular claim that the Israelites waded through a вЂњreed sea,вЂќ inevitably leading to the joke about a little boy being amazed that God could drown the Egyptian army in six inches of water. This effect, called wind setdown, is sort of the opposite of storm surge. The courses of rivers and the locations of shorelines do change over time, and using satellite imagery to suggest a site where a branch in the Nile River delta once drained into a coastal lagoon, Drews has proposed that a 63 mph wind blowing for 12 hours could have pushed back a wall of water, exposed a land bridge, and held it for the crossing.
