Apparently you didn't read my whole post, Also, why would God be bound by his creation?

Well yes, I did. First you say the laws of physics don't apply (bald assertion by the way), then proceed to give what appears to be a justification that does follow the laws of physics, then claim you aren't claiming that's what happened. Either the laws of physics don't apply to him (in which case trying to give explanations using the laws of physics is rather irrelevant if he doesn't follow them), or the laws of physics do apply to him, which means he is limited by his creation.

Choose one man, you can't say the laws of physics don't apply....then apply the laws of physics as an explanation.

Indeed, enough faith will convert you to vapor.

Christ didn't have to literally be less boyany than water for a mirical to have happened. a more conventional means could have been employed to the same effect, and it would not be anyless miraculous

Are you sure you can actually read the bible?

Does it do anything for girth?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Men aren't flat but they are more dense than freshwater. Jesus wasn't really a man or somebody wasn't telling the truth. maybe godmen float, i'm no expert on this though.

So... if Jesus weighs the same as a duck... he's made of wood...

Indeed. Including exploding quite spectacularly.

I'm not a reputable physicist, though that is my background.

I'd personally say it's a story from a book of fairytales from 2000 years ago and leave it at that.

I'm in no way saying that this is What Jesus did, just saying we live in a world that is not as real as we perceive it to be.

It cannot be what he is said to have done, because if you reverse the electrical fields of the electrons in your body in order to pass through something else, you get positrons, which will annihilate when they encounter electrons. Nothing would come out the other side.

Also, this obviously cannot explain walking on water.
