MadSci Network: General Biology |
I hope this is a sufficiently mad question for your scientists! I've been asked to speculate, with the help of science/medicine, on how Jesus performed miracles. I'm not looking for rationalistic/reductionist arguments that expose him as a fraud. Rather, I'd like to know if anyone has interesting hypotheses on how Jesus may have healed people(eg through hypnosis), the process he used to exorcise, how he walked on water (eg. by defying gravity or changing the surface tension of the water), how he fed 5,000 people, how he calmed a storm, and how he made a miraculous catch of fish. Also, can science offer any support for a virgin conception, the resurrection or Jesus' post-resurrection appearances? I appreciate that this is pure speculation, not explanation, but all views are welcome!
