There was a mistranslation from the Hebrew to Greek( or the Greek to latin not sure on that point ) and it was orginally was REED Sea, not RED. The REED Sea or "Sea of Reeds" was actually a small shallow lake about maybe less than 12 feet deep at it deepest. Still quite a feet if Moses did it, but still not anywher close to being the RED Sea.

ah i was waiting for someone to pick up on this, there was a story about it on the news, it comes up often.
its the same exact thing as the example you wrote about moses .
interpretation and application for your means can be a mothefucker.
the interpreted verse is basically these two
"Say: 'Shall I tell you who will receive a worse reward from God? Those whom God has cursed and with whom He has been angry, transforming them into apes and swine, and those who serve the devil. Worse is the plight of these, and they have strayed far from the right path.'"
"Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allah ? (Worse is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom His wrath hath fallen and of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine, and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the plain road."
