The Miracles of Exodus: A Scientist's Discovery of the Extraordinary Natural Causes of the Biblical Stories Kindle Edition

by Colin J. Humphreys (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
The Real Story of the ExodusColin Humphreys, a world-renowned Cambridge University scientist, reveals for the first time the concrete, scientific truth behind the Exodus miracles.
- The Burning Bush: Caused by a volcanic vent that opened up under the bush.

- Crossing the Red Sea: The water was pushed back by a very strong wind blowing all night. This is a known physical phenomenon called wind setdown. The details given in the Bible mean we can pinpoint where the Red Sea crossing occurred.

- Drowning Pharaoh's Army: When the very strong wind suddenly stopped blowing, the water rushed back in the form of a rapidly returning "bore" wave, sweeping Pharaoh's army into the sea.

- Mount Sinai: The real Mount Sinai is in present-day Saudi Arabia, not the Sinai Desert as is generally assumed.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Humphreys, a Cambridge University physicist, takes a look at the story of the Exodus through the prism of science. Using ancient maps and employing such disciplines as geology, astronomy, and agriculture, he attempts to ground the stories in Exodus in the natural world, even to the point of positing a precise location for Mt. Sinai. It's not on the Sinai Peninsula, as many scholars assume, but instead, it's an active volcano in Arabia, Mt. Bedr. Although the complexity of some of the techniques he employs (and the scrutiny with which he examines the most minute details) may prove taxing for some general readers, most of the time the narrative is nicely paced and thoroughly intriguing. Certainly, Humphreys' enthusiasm is infectious. When he explains, for instance, the scientific reasons for the Ten Plagues and how the plagues are linked through science, readers will be carried along on the excitement of discovery. There are, of course, other books that offer theories about the Exodus, but this one deserves a place in the forefront. Ilene Cooper

Review

“This book will re-open the question of what happened when the Hebrews left Egypt for the Promised Land.”

    I am a Professor and Director of Research at Cambridge University, UK, and a Fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge. I am a physicist and materials scientist, with a long-standing interest in biblical studies and the interface between science and faith. I have given many invited talks at both scientific and biblical conferences and published in both leading scientific and biblical journals. I have been awarded gold medals for my research from the USA, Europe and the UK. I was knighted by the Queen in 2010 for services to science. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering: these are the leading science and engineering societies in the UK. I am a Christian and a scientist and I would like to say to "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins that it is indeed possible to be both a Christian and a scientist!
