Here’s another attempt to explain the Biblical plagues without reference to the supernatural: global warming and a volcano eruption. It’s always funny to me how—in an attempt to avoid the supernatural—people appeal to explanations that are so implausible that it takes more faith to believe them than it does to believe the Biblical account that God was responsible.
For example, how is it that Moses’ could have known in advance that a plague of frogs would be produced by global warming? What’s even more unbelievable is the fact that each of the natural phenomena just-so-happened to stop when Moses said it would stop. And how is it that each of the ten plagues happened one after another, and never simultaneously? Who do they think they are trying to kid?

I read that article when it came out.
Sometimes I mull over the idea that some church going adults have this desire to delete imagination from young people. (Maybe some outside of the Church fit this also) I can see one result of this being that children growing up without the ability to believe in the supernatural.
Matt 18:2-5
2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.
NKJV
Could there be a connection between innocence and imagination? Could imagination be a result of innocence?
