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

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.

Thanks. It's pretty easy to see some of these people never read the
Bible or never took Bible Study classes. But they ramble on about boats
and they don't have a klue there either so I'm not surprised.
