Only problem with that is that there is no physical or DNA evidence to

Maybe you're confused. In Ed's defense, he's correct. And what's the
flood got to do with parting the Red Sea? That was during Noah's time.
Many generations before Moses came along. But the Bible is wrong in
Exodus. Check it out where it says the Lord caused an East wind to blow
all night and this pushed back the Red Sea so they could walk across it.
If you look at the maps in the Bible you can see Moses was on the West
side of the narrow arm of the Red sea. He and his exodus were going
east. An east wind would have blown the Red Sea right into their laps
and not back as the Bible says.

Here's the exact quote: Exodus 14:21 says, "And Moses stretched out his
hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong
east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were
divided." KJV

I guess whoever wrote that book was no sailor.
