I'll add a few decimals of precision to the question then. Is it possible that the event itself was misinterpreted at the time, or that the natural laws involved were simply not well enough understood yet to account for it? Is it possible to get a direct answer to this question?
Your answer is absolutely. The problem comes in timing. Somehow a chemical process may exist whereby water is changed to wine in seconds or a loaf of bread is multiplied in seconds or the wind could hold a man above the water or a child could be raised from a coma. All these could have been done by natural forces yet to be discovered.
However, as I have stated numerous times on this thread it leaves some nagging questions. If a coincidence why then and why so often? If not a coincidence, how did Jesus or Moses or others obtain the knowledge to do those things and why is it lost to our superior scientists and why didn't someone in that time point out it was doable? How did these precise set of miracles support and reinforce so well the various theological templates that existed in the old testament and simultaneously support the new revelations made by Jesus? Could someone have been so clever as to orchestrate an unknown physical process, at precise times with a horde of skeptics following him, done in a way that supported predictions made by prophets thousands of years before.

The natural laws were misunderstood when Christ healed and restored lost body parts with nothign but a word, and in some instances a little spit? No- I don’t think anyone would have misinterpreted those occurances
Possible to get an answer? Sure- the bible has eyewitness accounts, as Well you can find some secular writings that contain eyewitness accounts
