The question arises, why wasn't the occurrence of the reddening waters in the Carolinas thought of as a miracle? The answer was quite simple. The reason has to do with the fact that Moses was not trying to lead his people out of South Carolina.
Then came the second plague. This plague, as described in Exodus 8:1-15, dealt with frogs. "Frogs miraculously multiplied in number, so many that the land was infested with the normally aquatic creatures. Even people's houses had them inside" (Execulink). The miracle was not that the frogs multiplied to enormous numbers, but the fact that the frogs were supposedly brought to life all at once by Moses. Once the frogs came to life, they descended on the Egyptians. These events can also easily be explained. To begin with, the pHysteria bloom from the first plague had killed most of the fish in the region. When the frog spawn occurred many of the frogs natural enemies were already killed by plague number one. Without the natural predatory cycle, a much larger number of frogs survived to reach maturity. The other factor that contributed to the frog plague was also caused by the poisonous waters of the first plague. The frogs had to leave the water of the Nile in order to survive. Therefore, the frogs left the water and laid siege on the city. However, before leaving the deadly waters of the Nile the frogs had already ingested a lethal dose of the toxins produced by the pHysteria bloom (Ten Plagues of Egypt).
The death of the frogs actually led to the third plague, gnats. The third plague, in succession, was described as "vast swarms of gnats that tormented both people and animals"(Execulink). The gnats are easily explained. It is commonly known that gnats are attracted to dead, decaying animals. The only way to get rid of the gnats would have been to get rid of what the gnats were eating. The problem arose from the fact that the ancient Egyptians could not just put the frogs in the trash.
