Walking on water falls into this category, as it demonstrates authority over natural law. While science studies repeatable natural processes, miracles, by definition, are singular events initiated by God. By acknowledging an all-powerful Creator, one accepts the possibility that He can work beyond what nature regularly allows.
3. By Dr Oliver Tearle (Loughborough University) Three of the four Evangelists - Matthew, Mark, and John - describe the miracle of Jesus walking on water, and it's one of the most famous miracles recounted in the New Testament. The 'walking on water' miracle tells of how Jesus walks across the Sea of Galilee during a storm, to aid his disciple, Peter.
The miracle of Jesus walking on the water, recorded in three of the Gospels (Matthew 14:22-36; Mark 6:45-56; John 6:16-21), came on the heels of His miraculous feeding of the 5,000 with only five loaves of bread and two fish (Matthew 14:17). But it was the miracle of Jesus walking on the water that, more than any other, convinced Jesus' disciples that He was indeed the Son of God. The questions surrounding Jesus' ability to walk on water revolve around the nature of the event.
According to the story, Jesus sent his disciples across the Sea of Galilee before him. When a storm struck, Jesus was then seen walking on the water, reassuring them as he approached. Although believers take many lessons from the New Testament story, scientific evidence that might explain the story has been missing until relatively recently.
The New Testament story describes Jesus walking on water in the Sea of Galilee but according to a study led by Florida State University Professor of Oceanography Doron Nof in Tallahassee, Fla., it. The New Testament story describes Jesus walking on water in the Sea of Galilee, but according to a study led by Florida State University Professor of Oceanography Doron Nof, it's more likely that he walked on an isolated patch of floating ice. The study points to a rare combination of optimal water and atmospheric conditions for development of a unique, localized freezing phenomenon that Nof.
Dr Doron Nof, Florida State University oceanography professor, writes paper in Journal of Paleolimnology suggesting that New Testament story of Jesus walking on water could be explained. Physically walking on water is not possible according to scientific explanation and exploration. However, the symbolic implications of Jesus walking on water carry theological significance and convey his divine power and authority.
