For example, he said that the Red Sea parts all the time as silt falls in and then washes away. It did not give him any pause about the whole incident being a miracle, however. He said that sometime the miracle is not in the event but in the timing. Manna still falls. It just never fell from heaven. It comes off a tree over there.

The miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and the fish is one that you get a lot of weird explanations for...I just shake my head and throw up my arms. What can you do?! I love it!
