"Sorry, but science says Jesus didn't walk on water."

No it doesn't. There is no way to test that claim. It's outside of the realm of science, as are all claims of miracles. They have to be taken or not accepted on faith.

That is a different thing than saying that scientists know of no way a person could, barefoot, walk over water. What is at question is the very specific event of Jesus walking on water, and science cannot say it did or didn't happen. It can say that it would violate known laws of nature. That's all.

WHAT!!?? You mean that science can't even make a prediction of what happened 2000 years ago? Yet it claims to be able to make theories about what happened hundreds of million years ago! Walking on water is a single event and you better believe that science has something to say about that. How many millions and billions of natural events are supposed to have happened to make and evolve life?

Yes, that's what it says, it violates the laws of nature and the conclusion is...He didn't. That's exactly what science says. Science is about the laws of nature and about using these natural laws to look back to see how life started and developed over time. Natural science has no creation theory.
