Archaeology is a science, and archaeologists say that the ten plagues never happened. So the rational and scientific explanation is that there never were the ten plagues of Egypt. In fact, the respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein, says that over 90 per cent of scholars believe that the Exodus from Egypt never happened [allowing for those scholars who accept no evidence contrary to a literal reading of the Bible].
After the 10 plagues, the Egyptians allowed the Israelites to leave Egypt. As the Israelites left, Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued them, leading to the parting of the Red Sea and the drowning of Pharaoh's army. This event marked the end of the Israelites' enslavement in Egypt.
Answer 1The ten plagues are prevented today with science. We have the technology and the know how to prevent most disasters. When water goes back, we have ways of cleaning it. When there are too many insects, we can spray the crops.Answer 2God's Ten Plagues were brought about by God to make a certain statement to the Egyptians and Israelite nations in Egypt. So, it's not that the plagues are currently being prevented (and would naturally occurr without human intervention) but more that God does not have something to prove by bringing back the plagues.
God turned the water into blood as one of the ten plagues in Egypt to demonstrate his power and to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. It was a sign of judgment against the Egyptians and their false gods.
In the biblical story, God used a series of plagues to demonstrate his power and persuade the Pharaoh to release the Israelites. After witnessing the devastating plagues firsthand, the Pharaoh eventually relented and allowed the Israelites to leave Egypt.
Several plagues
Researchers into the matter of where the disaster happened have widely accepted the idea that the plagues struck in a place called Memphis in about 1260BC. Memphis is 12 miles south of modern Cairo, and was a large city which is guessed to have anywhere between 6000 - 30,000 inhabitants.
