What about the site where water flowed out of the split rock. I see over the web that it has been recognized for years but I never learned about it. It looks believable to me because if the earth is God's creation than God would surely leave a standing mark in history for people to know. People claim that the location is on the otherside of the area where the Iraelites mentioned, but with the smooth rocks on the lower area, that is hard evidence that water was there.

Nevertheless, we sent the samples for chemical analysis to a reputable Australian laboratory.12 Their report was interpreted by a Ph.D. geochemist.13 The existence of the sulfur ball is not surprising—the entire area is rich in natural sulfur. The results from the ‘ash’ (see chart below, right) were not consistent with what would be expected from incinerated ancient buildings, or rock ash of any sort. Instead, they clearly indicated an [evaporite] deposit of gypsum-type minerals. This crumbly, easily eroded material fully explains the visual impressions, and is consistent with the known features of this area. The chemistry also shows an abundance of carbonates, which would be broken down by heat.14
