Well, I'm going to go with a non-religious answer. It's not possible. Just because the christain bible says some man named Jesus did those things doesn't mean they actually happened, let alone anyone that follows that religion is provided the oppertunity to perform any "Miracles".

About walking in the water... the thin layer of water lies just above the solid pavements and you can walk on it, you can try it yourself. It is fun sharing the fun and it is not wrong to share fun in religious activities.
About turning water into wine... who among them, Jesus and the Apostles, could afford the wine? None... and it was Emperor Constantinople who ordered the changes in the mass.
If your interest lies in the magic, why don't you go to the carnival and have some fun? Because religious activities today are happening in the Churches.
Now, will you give me your "God Damn 10 points" as I have answered your inquiry so knowledgeable and truthfully.

You can walk on water if you make sure it's frozen solidly first.
You can turn water to wine - you water the grape vines and then press the grapes which have swelled with that water to make wine.
But the stories in the bible are just meant to be that - stories. There is no literal truth to them, any more than there is literal truth to any of our culture's modern stories, such as Star Trek or the Matrix.

That's quite funny!
Can you tell me why a majority of scientists believe there is no God when they themselves believe in cause and effect yet can not explain scientifically what started it all? There has to be a begining in everything when it comes to science. Something had to create something in order for that something to happen or exist. What started the big bany...matter, chemicals, ect... okay, what started that, and then what started that. It just keeps going... The answers that science can not explain, but God can!
And as far as your joke goes, you don't believe in miracles and mock Christians for believing them. Yet I'm sure you believe that this Earth just so happend to come out just so perfect for life to begin, survive, and reproduce? That sounds like quite a miracle in itself in scientific terms. Because the chance of that happening by accident is a miracle!

It is an act of Faith. You must have Faith to walk on water. Wouldn't do athiest must good to try being they have no Faith.
But if Christians persue it they will walk on water too. Peter walked on water by simply believing Jesus. Peter loved Jesus but he still denied the Lord and turned his back on Jesus. But when Peter was converted He stood tall and proud in the Spirit of Christ and went to his death preaching Christ to a lost and dieing world. Praise be unto God!!!!

Because these are called "miracles," and miracles can't be taught. They also can't be performed by mortal man; only the Lord Jesus Christ and Almighty God can perform miracles.
And Moses didn't part the Red Sea by himself, either, skippy; it was the power of God that did it. Moses was just the instrument.
Of course, I'm wasting my time in replying to this because you just want to stir up trouble, but I want the two points.

Because they cut a deal with Kawaski and SeaDoo to keep that hush hush... as well as with the other corporations that would lose money if they taught Christians that stuff; Ernest & Gallo, pet stores, construction companies, Kinkos.

Because christians or no other can do that. Only one man in time could.

These were miracles done by Jesus, not any man. I haven't met and atheist yet who could understand the Bible.
