Jesus walked on ice?
A Florida State researcher, Doron Nof, has published that a rare ice patch could account for the story of Jesus walking on water. The theory is that every 12,000 years or so the conditions are just right for ice to form in northern Israel, and Jesus was actually standing on one of these patches of ice. Of course, true fundamental Christians put the Earth at about 6,000 years old so does it matter if every 12,000 years the conditions are right?
Without getting in to any discussions of the validity of religion, this study is absurd. Why do those that do not agree with Christianity feel the need to prove that the miracles could have had a natural cause. A natural cause will never convince a truly devout Christian that their beliefs are false. So all a study like this does is to give those against Christianity something to argue with and those that are for Christianity something to dismiss. Neither side gets anything out of it.
