A boy was sitting in a park bench with one hand resting on an open Bible.
He was loudly exclaiming his praise to God. "Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God is great!"
he yelled without worrying whether anyone heard him or not.

Shortly after, along came a man who had recently completed some studies at a
local University. Feeling himself very enlightened in the ways of truth and very
eager to show this enlightenment, he asked the boy about the source of his Joy.
"Hey" asked the boy in return with a bright laugh, "Don't you have any idea what
God is able to do? I just read that God opened up the waves of the Red Sea and
led the whole nation of Israel right through the middle."

The enlightened man laughed lightly, sat down next to the boy and began to try to
open his eyes to the "realities" of the miracles of the Bible. "That can all be very
easily explained. Modern scholarship has shown that the Red Sea in that area was
only 10 inches deep at that time. It was no problem for the Israelites to wade across."
The boy was stumped. His eyes wandered from the man back to the Bible lying open in
his lap. The man, content that he had enlightened a poor naive young person to the
finer points of scientific insight turned to leave.
