Jim,

I am not a naturalist, Jim. I only used the Chesapeake Bay as an example, if
it happened overnight in eastern Maryland, it could have happened at the
Great Sea, or the Red Sea. God can do what He wishes, when He wishes and as
He
wishes. And if we can't think like they thought then we'll never understand
their actions.
