Homiletic and Pastoral Review magazine had a good letter from someone making fun of rationalists who try to explain away the miracles of the Bible. Since the magazine does not have a website, I may post the letter here when I have the time to type it all. Fr. Groeschel tells a good story of a Baptist minister with a teenage son reading the story of Moses parting the Red Sea. The know-it-all son tells the father that really what happened was a natural drying up of the Sea, a special extra low tide, and that there was only 6 inches of water so the Jews could cross. The minister shouts out “What a miracle! Praise the Lord!”. The son is incredulous “What miracle? This was a rare but natural occurrence perfectly explained by science”. The minister shouts “The whole Egyptian army drown in 6 inches of water! Praise the Lord for this miracle!”.
