I read this article explaining all 10 of the Egyptian plagues with scientifically sound causes, was pretty nice. All of them have been documented since them, but the Egyptians were just really fucked over cause they had them all at the same time. (some actually caused the next)
Even explained Moses' 'splitting' of the sea.

Moshe didn't split the red sea, G-d did. I hate misconceptions.
So there is a scientific explanation for all but one small section of a river turning into blood? There is a scientific reason for only FIRST born sons to die in one night? There is an explanation for giant hail to fall within the same month as herds of beasts and locusts ravaging one section of EGYPT? You know, the country near the goddamn EQUATOR?

River/Blood: FIRST born sons dying: TL;DR: Among other possibilities, the locusts ruined the harvest, making the Egyptians taking their harvest in much sooner, because of the damp conditions it was stored in, toxins were created in the foodstocks, because (by Egyptian tradition) the first born was granted twice the portion of food of the rest of the family, they would have consumed more of the toxins, resulting in some of the first born sons dying (and of course, mass hysteria and over exaggerating while writing made this ALL of the first born sons). Giant hail isn't uncommon, I mean news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_7070000/newsid_7077900/7077921.stm, this is in Colombia, which is on the equator, while Egypt is thousands of miles off. L2geography. Locusts are common in that part of the world. Okay, the chances of all these things happening this close to each other are slim, but they are there and if one wasn't there, this would be called ' the 9 plagues of Egypt'. I mean, chances that the Titanic was going to sink on it's maiden voyage were very slim as well, but it happened, isn't a reason to begin yelling 'DIVINE INTERVENTION, DIVINE INTERVENTION' across the place. Same goes for the attacks of 9/11, chances weren't that large that i'd be this devastating, but it happened. And now you got some crazy fanatics (on both sides) claiming this as an act of God. You have Americans going 'see, we are living in sin, this is God telling us this' and the Islamic extremists say 'see, God helped us do that shit, join us or die!'. You are both fools. Let me try to simplify this for you, if I walk around saying 'God can't hurt me, God can't hurt me, if he wants to hurt me, he should strike me down' and get hit by lightning, it doesn't mean this was done by God, it just means I got hit by fucking lightning. I can demonstrate this by having religious ppl getting hit by lightning (there have been some, believe me) and me not being religious and actually claiming that this God of yours can strike me down with lightning and it not happening. You see? You ppl just take random events, check if they fit into your bogus story and ignore the rest. Or claim them to be utterly random. But this man might explain it better than me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeSSwKffj9o

I still stand by the fact that all of those things happening was a work of G-d. In the story of Chanukah, G-d made 9 oil lamps stay lighted for a week+a day. He did not make it last longer, he just made it burn at 1/8 rate. That example proves that no matter what you disprove it with, there is always middle ground between your scientific explanation and the work of G-d.
