I think you'll have to ask Moses on that one.
I recall seeing a show that said, due to winds, the Red Sea could
have indeed "parted" enough to walk across, but it would not have
been like it was shown in the movie with Charlton Heston where there
were two big immediately opposed standing water walls. It would have
looked more like a tidal bay looks when the tide is out - lots of
bottom with a bunch of puddles. In places like Cook Inlet the tide
indeed comes in like a wall of water, and way faster than anyone can
run. It looks deceptively calm from shore.
