The movie starring Hilary Swank call katherine inside, she originally is a religious person to GOD butden after her family kena killed, she no longer believe in GOD and miracle..she uses scientic reasons to counter the "10 plagues" that happen to MOSES and people in BC???duno when exactly..if u watch the movie, her long speech inside commenting about the 10 plagues is really WOW WOW WOW!!! ahahha

The 10 Plagues and its scientific reasons she actually commented could be found in the web, so i jux find it and paste it here =)

4Plague 1—water turned into blood, fish died
~ The redness in the Nile could have actually been pollution caused by volcanic activity, which, due to the color of Nile silt, could make the Nile turn blood red, and would also render it undrinkable. Heavy rains in the red-soiled area of Lake Victoria could have caused reddened water to wash downstream.
~ Alternatively, a red toxic algal bloom (red tide) could have produced large quantities of toxins that would kill fish.
~ Earthquakes could have caused a limnic eruption the same way it happened at Lake Nyos.

4Plague 2—frogs
~ Any blight on the water that killed fish also would have caused frogs to leave the river and, probably, die.

4Plagues 3 and 4—biting insects and flies
~ The lack of frogs in the river would have let insect populations, normally kept in check by the frogs, increase massively.

4Plagues 5 and 6— livestock disease and boils
~ There are biting flies in the region which transmit livestock diseases; a sudden increase in their number could spark epidemics.

4Plague 7—hail
~ Volcanic activity not only brings with it ash, but brimstone, and also alters the weather system, occasionally producing hail. Hail could also have occurred as a completely independent natural weather event.

4Plague 8—locusts
~ The weight of hail will destroy most crops, leaving several insects and other animals without a normal food source. The remaining crops therefore would become targeted heavily, and thus be destroyed by swarms of locusts which would otherwise be distributed rather thinly. Or the locusts could have increased due to a lack of predators. Even without these explanations, swarms of locusts are not uncommon today.

4Plague 9—darkness
~ There could be several causes for unusual darkness: a solar eclipse, a sandstorm, volcanic ash, or simply swarms of locusts large enough to block out the sun.

4Plague 10—death of the firstborn
~ If the last plague indeed selectively tended to affect the firstborn, it could be due to food polluted during the time of darkness, either by locusts or by the black mold Cladosporium. When people emerged after the darkness, the firstborn would be given priority, as was usual, and would consequently be more likely to be affected by any toxin or disease carried by the food.
~ The word we know as "firstborn" may have meant the higher social class rather than literally the eldest sons, but the same argument applies.
~ In the 2006 documentary Exodus Decoded, Jewish Canadian filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici hypothesised the selectiveness of the tenth plague was under the circumstances similar to the 1986 disaster of Lake Nyos that is related to geological activities that caused the previous plagues in a related chain of events. The hypothesis was that the plagues took place shortly after the eruption of Thera (now known as Santorini), which is thought to have happened some time between 1450 BCE and 1650 BCE. The eruption sets off a chain of events resulting in the plagues and eventually the killing of the first born. Jacobovici suggests that the first borns in ancient Egypt had the privilege to sleep close to the floor while other children slept on higher ground or even on roofs. Like in Lake Nyos, when carbon dioxide or other toxic gases escape the surface tension of a nearby waterbody either due to geological activity or over satuation, the gas being heavier than air, "flooded" the nearby area displacing oxygen and killing those who were in its path. Jewish households escaped the fate because they were told to observe their first Passover rituals.

!END OF EXPLANATION! =)

Rougly is lidat la..hahaha
