Jesus may have walked on ice?
The New Testament says that Jesus walked on water, but Professor Doron Nof theorized in the early 1990s that Moses's parting of the Red Sea had solid science behind it. Nof, a professor of oceanography at Florida State University believes there could be a less miraculous explanation --he walked on a floating piece of ice.
Thanks to my friend Stuart Delony for this article here.

Yeah, Neil, what was the boat on if Jesus was on the ice?
And what did Peter walk on, that carried him until his faith failed, then he apparently got more dense and sank until Jesus' ice caught up to him and supported them both and none of the desciples saw it?
predisposed not to believe - what else can you say?
Art beat me to the Peter question. Maybe his sudden fear of the storm caused an increase in blood flow, which caused his feet to heat up, melting the ice slowly enough that he gradually began to sink. Yeah, you know, that's much easier to believe than a plain reading of the text, isn't it???
I have foud that the miracle is usually easier to believe than the so-called explanation!
Well, now we know why Peter got "cold feet."
Has anyone documented how many times the Sea of Galilee (or whatever its name is today) has been frozen solid enough for a man to walk on it?
Wes,
Your theory appears to qualify you to be a science professor at any American university.
Marty,
Good one!
