They actually found that it was ICE he was walking on

"A frozen patch floating on the surface of the small lake would have been difficult to distinguish from the unfrozen water surrounding it. The unfrozen water was comprised of the plumes resulting from salty springs situated along the lake's western shore in Tabgha—an area where many archeological findings related to Jesus have been documented.
"As natural scientists, we simply explain that unique freezing processes probably happened in that region only a handful of times during the last 12,000 years," Nof said.
But don't let the word "SCIENCE" scare you

I think this is a good question (Eric C you are a loser and childish)
Who knows what the weather was like 2000 YEARS AGO!?!?! WERE YOU THERE?!? NO!!
Instead of insulting the girl, why not think LOGICALLY. Glaciers are receeding at an enormous rate some saw due do global warming - what makes you think it is IMPOSSIBLE that there be ice there over 2000 years ago.

(to answer one person's question: it's stated in the paragraph that he stood on a floating patch of ice, and in that scenario, people around him would sink)
It's a lovely ideology. I admire it. Nonetheless, it has been written and rewritten by people with primitive conceptions of the nature of the world, and for reasons like that, we have stories about people building "towers to heaven". There are so many problems with that being literally true that I'll stick to the two most obvious:
Architecture wasn't very advanced, so even a man standing in the tallest tower on the tallest mountain couldn't even reach the troposphere, and assuming that they could achieve the altitude of a jet, they definitely wouldn't make it to the stratosphere. If they did, the entire Bible would cancel its own factuality out. The reason is that nobody could have lived in the region of Jesus, if the base of a tower there were as wide as it would have to be to sustain a tower that tall, with primitive materials and unremarkable architectural achievement, until it reached anything near "heaven" (which for the sake of this example, we will say is just at the rim of the exosphere.
You should very easily be able to continue admiring and loving Jesus while believing that the Bible isn't literally true. The sermon on the mount was touching, and more people should take it to heart. Why must the man also have to walk on water?

Very well! let us assume that was accurate, and Jesus did walk on a frozen patch floating on the surface!! Scientifically! what do you think would happen to person who would attempt to walk on that frozen surface!? If you ask someone living near lakes that do freeze will tell you that the person will not be able to walk on it, most likely they will tip over, unless the whole lake is frozen and that is not what you have indicated. and if it frozen, then the whether must be cold as well, and the people around would have known! unless that piece of ice was moving with him, hovering just a few inches under the water without anyone noticing! and if so! how! and why! is there force behind the eye that can see is doing that? Knowing that lake and area, you will find out it is very unlikely that there was a patch of frozen water that allowed him to walk on it. That is science, don't be sacred of it.
By the way Jesus did walk on water, not only Christians believe it many other do. only these days more and more people try to find reasons to disprove who he was, and what he did.

nicely, the thoughts interior the Bible have been written one hundred or extra years after he died, and that they have got been translated many circumstances considering the fact that they have been first written... possibly the thoughts did say ice while they have been written. there's a great form of room for errors there. And ice is in simple terms frozen water . . . in any case, do no longer permit this shake your faith. in case you think Jesus walked on water, then, by golly, he walked on water. Oh, and why interior the worldwide did you supply a link to the item and then decrease and paste the completed element????

rofl. i love how all the poeople that said jesus is real, have a couple thumbs down.
If it was ice, it was ice, and would be the best explination. Simon Peter could have sunk through the ice, that would make sense. not all ice on a lake for example is always frozen..
and it doesnt matter if im a believer or not.. theres a scientific explination fo r everything

Noting more than a far out theory, not new news.
How do you suppose that the boat happened right up to the ice without anyone knowing it was there?
If he just stepped on the very edge, it surly would have tipped over.
Good try.
Peace!

Scientists always have a way of explaining things in their own imagination, How about all the other miracles Jesus did?
Raising the dead,
Feeding the 5000
healing the sick, the blind & the lame
Predicting Peter's denial & Judas Betraying
What Logic will they come up with to explain these?

Matthew 14:25-27 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Mark 6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walkin upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
John 6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing night unto the ship: and they were afraid.
NO where in any of the verses does it say Jesus walked on ice.
Not only that but in Mark it says that Jesus saw them toiling and ROWING. John says they had ROWED about five and twenty or thirty furlongs. First of all, if there was ice, why would they need a boat? They all could have just walked on the ice. And lastly, even if they did put on boat out on the ice, why would they be rowing? Last I checked, you can't row a boat on ice.
Btw, yes I did clink on the link. And I am sick and tired of people trying to deny what the Bible clearly says. you can thumbs down me all ya want.

Ice is solid water. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.
Jesus used his powers to keep the top 1/64th of an inch (or smaller number) frozen enough for him and Peter to walk on.
Peter doubted Jesus's powers and the ice broke beneath his feet.
