I have been reading about water striders lately, and it just struck me that might be an explanation for some of Jesus super powers.
Maybe he was like a highly evolved mutant, and this went to his head and made him think that he knew a bunch of stuff.

Some people claim he's a great teacher. Others think he's a prophet. Some dismiss him as a liar or even a madman. Millions hail him as Savior and Lord. Whatever people think of him, nobody can deny that he stands at the very crux of human history.
The biblical record of his life shows that Jesus was born to a virgin, lived a sinless life, taught throughout Palestine for about three years, was crucified and then rose back to life three days after his death. The Bible claims that more than 500 people saw him alive after this miraculous event. How could a mere man have lived such a life? The miracles Jesus performed, his death on the cross, his resurrection, his ascent to heaven--all point to the fact that he was no ordinary leader.
Hundreds of years before Jesus' birth, prophets predicted his coming. The Old Testament, written by many people over a period of 1,500 years, contains more than 300 such prophecies. All of these details came true, including his miraculous birth, his sinless life, his many miracles, his death and his resurrection.
By his own account, Jesus claimed he had the power to forgive sins, to cast out demons, and to determine people's eternal destiny. He even declared he himself was God!
Declaring that he was God so angered the religious and political leaders of his day that they had him crucified. They buried him in a borrowed grave, and three days later, he rose from the dead.
The resurrection of Jesus is what makes Christianity unique. In fact, the validity of Christianity hinges on the proof of the resurrection of Jesus. If the resurrection never took place, then the Christian faith is based on a lie and people have no true hope for life after they die. But if it is true, then we can do nothing else but accept Jesus as Savior and Lord and receive his gift of love and forgiveness.
Throughout the centuries, most great scholars who have considered the proofs of the resurrection have believed, and still believe that Jesus is alive.

I don't think he was an insect... He didn't disperse his weight over the water like water insects.
He did have abs you could use as washboard. I think there's even a workout video called Abs of the Savior. It's VERY difficult to find a depiction of Jesus Christ with his shirt off where he isn't sporting a six pack.

Who can be absolutely certain about this or anything else? I do not think so. His deeds are exaggerated by believers. Some skeptics doubt that he ever lived. If he did exist, he was a magician, or someone told wild tales about him. No human walks on water, etc. Many people want to believe in something and all too often have no discrimination about what they choose to believe. Nostrodamus has many devotees too, and there is nothing marvelous about him. Astrology is believed by many people, e.g. my mother had a deailed horoscope done. It is utter nonsense too. To "believe" is to be "convinced something is true without proof". I want to know facts, not blindly believe nonsense, so I question Jesus' "miracles".

Jesus was no more human than any of us he was just made to seem super human after years of stories got stretched until he was made to sound like a god.

Are you high right now? Dude, it's safer to say that he was a magician and a master illusionist. He passed his skills to Houdini and Copperfield...and David Blaine. JK

Whether jesus was in a sect or not, he's generated more sects than a million porn films and the internet combined.

haha
I'm guessing your not the MOST RELIGIOUS of people...
but perhaps he used an invention???!?!?
I get your idea though...
I wonder if all the miracles he performed occurred because he knew something no one else did and he used his knowledge to his advantage...

Yes, he was a termite, and he actually ate his way off of the cross and escaped.
