I was thinking about this today. I can believe that the crocodiles started eating each other & everything else they found in the river, causing it to turn red & kill all the fish, and causing all the frogs to leave the river & go on land & then die because they had no fresh water, then rot & cause maggots & flies that carried some skin-rash forming bacteria. I can believe that locusts attacked the region right after all of this. I can even believe that the Red Sea "parted" due to an underwater earthquake, causing the water to recede where Moses & his people crossed. As EXTREMELY coincidental as all those events might be, there is a chance they happened.
Hell, I can even believe that Moses thought he spoke to God on numerous occasions. People think they talk to people that aren't really there all the time. What I can't believe is that every 1st born male son was killed by whatever (aka Creeping Death) UNLESS you had recently painted your door with lambs blood. Come on.
...and yes, I did actually like Battlefield Earth! Maybe it's because I had no idea who L Ron Hubbard was and didn't really know it was supposed to be attached to Scientology - I just thought it was a decent sci-fi movie
