I was the right age to learn about the enormous potential of deep sea mining by reading Willard Price. Actually, looking at when Underwater Adventure was written, I could have been born any year and still learn about it by that method.
I'm talking about when it was breathlessly added to the school curriculum at the time the Glomar ship was being built.
So I was saying something like "I read about leaked story of Moses parting the Red Sea in the newspaper!"; yes, you're right, anybody can learn about Moses from the Bible.
