Miracles: Parting of the red sea disproved by science?

The BBC reported on a recent report from the US National Center for Atmospheric Research about how science and computer modelling may be able to explain the parting of the Red Sea, as described in Exodus.

Take a look at the video in the article for an explanation.

This relates nicely to current yr13 work on miracles!

Do we need to say our prayers?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8434059.stm

Year 10 were asked in their recent mock exam if there was any point to prayer. They were very divided - perhaps it made you feel better, perhaps God did answer prayer but maybe not in the way we would hope or perhaps praying is a pointless activity as God either doesn't care, can't answer everyones prayers as they conflict or he simply doesn't exist.

At A level we will consider prayer as a religious experience and in the sections on miracles. Read the above article on damaging climate change in Kenya and consider whether you think prayer will help in any way.

Religious Experience - another school's project

An excellent video from another school discussing the different views of religious experience.
