Study claims ice, not water, kept Jesus afloat
University professor attempts to explain miracles with science

MOD DELETION.

Mod edit: I'm sure it is but please find the link to the article and do not post full pieces here.

This just in: Researchers discover that the centaur never existed.

The entire point of faith is to trust in what cannot be scientifically proven. People that try to do so are only missing the point.

I have faith in the centaur. If you don't then you just don't get it.

I don't think Jesus is busted. It's the church and it's telling of miracles that impressed the illiterate people of that time and helped it gain converts that is busted. Now it has come back to bite them in the arse. Who cares if Jesus walked on water or probably ice. What good does it do me? The telling of miracles only deflect intelligent people from examining the teachings of Jesus and that he was a man like you and me.

No doubt. Everyone that doesn't believe in the centaur will sizzle in Sarjuvio's Acid pits of greenish darkness - At least, that's what the sacred coctail napkin told me.

doesnt anyone else find it funny that this theory is just as crazy as the claim that jesus walked on water? i guess jesus was bored, took a boat out and found a chunk of floating ice to walk on to freak people out. thats more logical then it being an act of god, a metaphor, or just completely made up. next this guy will say the resurection wasnt really jesus, it was his twin brother who popped into the apostles tent and yealled "im back".

A:how/why did jesus go and find a floating chunk of ice in the middel of the sea?
or
B:if it was ice on the shore not in the sea, then every curious 7 year old child would walk out onto it and it wouldnt be very impressive.

strange that religious people must prove their faith to those who try and disclaim it, but when the tables are turned those same people believe fairy tales because its on the internet. remember this is a theory, and its a pretty poor one at that.

as a catholic i accept that most likely jesus didnt walk on water, but it was a metaphor, "without jesus you will be in dangerous waters, if you accept him he will be there next to you no matter the place {middle of the sea}" and you will be in calm waters again.

I agree. I find this partiular theory quite diappointing; no better than the rationalizations brought to bear on the miraculous events of the New Testament in the 18th and 19th centuries. Would the ice not have to be quite thick for a person to be able to step out of the boat, and stand on it? I find it hard to fathom that the water in the Sea of Galilee would ever freeze to the necessary thickness.

Are they still trying to find proof that Jesus actually existed?

They have been trying for 100s of years...maybe a few thousand.
So far no luck.

Maybe Jesus was just standing on one of these. . .
