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!

'Artificial life' breakthrough announced by scientists

Scientists in the US have succeeded in developing the first synthetic living cell.

The researchers constructed a bacterium's "genetic software" and transplanted it into a host cell.

The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species "dictated" by the synthetic DNA.

Is this the ultimate in intelligent design? What are the ethical implications here?

The start of designer babies?

Embryos containing DNA from a man and two women have been created by scientists at Newcastle University.

This new avenue of exploration into IVF treatment has led to the creation of an embryo where one mother's genes are replaced with more desirable one from a donor mother, due to the original egg donor having a potentially harmful genetic condition. Have we stumbled into designer babies?
