If the scripture presents false information, then it has no spiritual value. Jesus walked on water...

Are we asking for scientific proof that He did in order to follow Him? Did some have to see miracles to follow Him?

if He did not have the power to override the laws of physics..

Yes, and you'll not find your "proof" therefore in physics.

We learn nothing about physics here, that's not the point. We cannot prove Jesus's divinity by physics; reading Newton or Feynman will not help us know Jesus. Reading Jesus will not help us know physics.

Thanks for your reply.

Are we asking for scientific proof that He did [walk on water] in order to follow Him?

No. Science would suggest that such a miracle was a physical impossibility. But merely because an event is a "physical impossibility" does not mean that it did not occur. The problem, my FRiend, is that many people use Science to prove the Bible false. There was a poster on this thread who said that while he believed in God, he did not believe that Jesus walked on water. His disbelief was apparently grounded in Science. He used his scientific knowledge to disprove (in his own mind) the miracles in the Bible.

Belief in Miracles, such as walking on water, turning water into wine, and creating the earth in 6 days, requires that we acknowledge that God is not bound by physical laws and that his miracles are not made false by empirical or circumstantial evidence which suggests either that they could not occur or that they did not occur.

Yes, and you'll not find your "proof" therefore in physics.

Neither will you.

Reading Jesus will not help us know physics.

Then why do Christian students pray before their Physics finals?
