Er, which atheists claim that?
I've never heard anyone say that, and I find it ridiculous.
Far more likely that the entire "Jesus walked on water" story was a myth, like the Cassie Bernall "She said 'yes'" story, or the woman who falsely claimed to have been in the WTC on 9/11, or the "Al Gore says he invented the internet" myth.

Ice is pretty unlikely to form in that part of the world. I do believe that Jesus and his followers were actual individuals, but hashish was and is plentiful and popular in the Middle East. That kind of tells me everything I need to know.
I have a small pond in my yard and sometimes see small insects skimming over the water---I call them "Jesus bugs" ;)

The story of Jesus walking on water is just that, a story. No different than Hercules going to Hades to slew the three headed dog Cerberus who guarded the gates to hell. The Hercules story is Greek mythology, the Jesus story is Christian mythology.

All miracles are strict extensions of natural law.
According to the researchers, such ice could have formed on the cold freshwater surface of the Sea of Galilee � known as Lake Kinneret by modern-day Israelis � when already chilly temperatures briefly plummeted during one of the two protracted cold periods between 2,500 and 1,500 years ago

Silly. The Middle East doesn't see a lot of ice.
Unless they were suggesting an ice age? I have a lot of doubt as to how they came to the conclusion that ice could and would form there. Rather than just concluding that it was another part plagerized from other religions. (Horus)

According to Matthew 14:24,the ship was tossing in the waves because of high winds.Could a whole sea of ice be moved by wind?Besides,Peter also stood on the water for a very short period of time,before his faith wavered and he started to SINK.

if the climate fo the middle east allowed ice at that point in time, I'm sure people would have noted the difference.
this one's either all myth or all true; I fail to see middle ground on this one.

Of course there is the possibility of him just choosing a spot where the water was shallow, that others didn't know about...

I think it wasn't ice. Since there was nobody walking on it, it could just as well have been liquid water.
