I subscribe to the authority and accuracy of the biblical texts first, not my experience. As such, I count both Jesus' walking on water and His resurrection from the dead as fact. I also note the text makes reference to nothing imaginary. Walking, water, and life are all natural, just like intelligent design.

Below, a live organism consisting of 80% water debunks all three prongs of your bold assertion.

So I guess one can lift an elephant with one hand, because that makes reference to nothing imaginary. Lifting, elephants and hands are all natural. Intelligent design is a theory, there is nothing natural about a theory, which is a man-made conception of perceived reality--the key word being perceived. People used to think that folks were possessed by demons, too, because they would shake and tremble, which we now know was faulty perception based on imagination.

That's the basis for this whole discussion; you decide to believe in them, with no evidence. That's the key to religious faith; if it didn't require a leap of faith, in just deciding to believe, then there would be no effort required, no FAITH required. Facts have nothing to do with it because there is no evidence that water can be turned into wine, though we know there IS water and there IS wine (man-made).
