text: I hesitate to answer you, because last time you added a detail that conveyed to me that you only want answers that agree with you. It seems to me that you are just baiting. \n\nBut, I'll give it a shot anyway...\n\nPerhaps he walked on water just like Criss Angel did.\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBQLq2VmZcA\n\nThere's no evidence outside the Bible saying so that he did walk on water or that he healed anyone, though...\n\nThe Christian theological answer to how he did miracles was through the power of the Holy Spirit, which explains where it came from, but not how it worked.\n\nEdit...\n\nHis name is Christopher. My name is Christy. Does that mean I am evil, too, then? C'mon, hon, let's try to be open to the ideas of others at least and not just label them as evil. Other religions think that YOU are evil for believing what you do.\n\nA pentagram is a Pagan symbol, not a symbol of evil or Satan, no matter what your religion would have you think. Pagans do not worship or even believe in Satan.\n\nAnd no, I'm not saying he was an illusionist. Just showing you how it can be done as illusion and is not necessarily a supernatural event. \n\nThe rest of your response has nothing to do with this question. I know you haven't been here long, though, so I'll respond at length this time...  \n\nReligion does indeed slow progress. Can you give me one good reason why In vitro fertilization (where embryos are made and then destroyed) is Ok and accepted by this country where there are a lot of Christians, and yet stem cell research on those embryos (and we're talking VERY early stage embryos) is not accepted? \n\nChristianity does not make countries more advanced, more humane, etc... Countries that are predominantly Christian include - \n\nSouth Africa (apartheid), All of South and Central America, all of the Carribbean (with the exception of Cuba, which just barely falls short of being mostly Christian) and most of the Sub-Saharan African countries. That's over three dozen countries, in just those two regions of the world. There's also Eastern Europe to be considered, as well as countries that do not have Christianity (like Japan) and yet manage to be civilized and successful.\n\nSo, what's the real differences between a country that is developed, humane, and civilized and one that continues to be poor, unadvanced, or inhumane? \n\nGovernment and economy. The countries of the world that are richer, more advanced, and so on are so because they have governments and economical structures that have proven to be successful - democracies, capitalism, representative republics (like the US), and so on...  \n\nIncidentally, one thing that many of the more successful countries also have in common is that they have separation of church and state.
