Are you saying you know for sure Jesus didn't walk on water?

I'm saying science knows He didn't and has no other recourse. I happen to believe He did, by the way. Science is the study of repeatable phenomena, natural forces and quantities and reactions. There is no default to the supernatural in science.

"I'm saying science knows He didn't and has no other recourse."

And you are wrong about what science can or can't say.

"Science is the study of repeatable phenomena, natural forces and quantities and reactions. There is no default to the supernatural in science."

True. The supernatural is outside of the realm of scientific inquiry. Scientists are agnostic about it. Which is why science doesn't say that Jesus didn't walk on water.

If Jesus did walk on water through a supernatural act, then science has no way of evaluating the event, and as such cannot arrive at a conclusion or explanation. Science can be used to make the general statement that there is no natural means by which a human can walk upon the surface of water, but it cannot rule out the possibility of supernatural elements allowing such an event. Your claim is false.
