one of the greatest and most well-known miracle of jesus christ is when he ‘walked on water/sea’. it was in the bible and of course christians believe in the bible.

however, recently, a professor in a florida, US university, after a study, claimed that jesus did not walk on water but he was walking on a thin piece of ice, thus refuting the miracle of jesus walking on water.

The study found that a period of cooler temperatures in the area between 1,500 and 2,600 years ago could have included the decades in which Jesus lived.

A drop in temperature below freezing could have caused ice thick enough to support a human to form on the surface of the freshwater lake near the western shore, Nof said. It might have been nearly impossible for distant observers to see a piece of floating ice surrounded by water.

this same professor, 14 years ago, also threw a damper on the miracle of the parting of the red sea, by explaining how the wind and sea could cause the parting, not a miracle that caused it.

oh well, he could be an eccentric professor for all i know. how many people are going to believe him? not many, i’m sure. he had said to been receiving lots of hate mail after he presented these two theories.

i guess some people have nothing better to do than to ‘find trouble’ on other people’s faith. well, i can’t imagine what would happen if this professor or some other nut make claims that the prophet mohammad did not do this or that as stated in the koran – riots and burning down of buildings (from the extremists)? order to kill the professor?

i’m strong in my own faith. no matter what other people say of my own faith, i will not be swayed. i will not get all worked up. i believe in what i want to believe in and nobody (or whatever actions i intend to do… IF) could change that.

just like when dan brown’s book ‘the da vinci code‘ was out, some people get all worked up and grumbled they were all lies in the book. oh well, lies or no lies, whatever, to me, it’s just a fiction.

i’m sure many of you knew already that soon a movie (starring tom hanks) based on this book will be out soon, right?

A South Korean Christian group has filed for a court injunction to stop a movie distributor from showing The Da Vinci Code, saying it defiles the sanctity of Jesus Christ and distorts facts.

“The Da Vinci Code is a movie which belittles and tries to destroy Christianity,” said the Rev Hong Jae-chul of the Christian Council of Korea, an umbrella group of over 60 Korean Protestant denominations.

aiya. who cares. it’s just a movie.

anyway, as i had blog before, there is now a website ‘jesus decoded‘, which is aimed at providing accurate information on jesus, catholic teachings and varioius topics explored in the da vinci code book. among other things, the website introduced an hour-long documentary on DVD that:

presents clear and accurate information about the person of Jesus, his disciples, and the formation of the books included in the official canon of the bible.

this DVD is produced by the catholic communication campaign.now, we also see another DVD coming up, entittled ‘the da vinci code deception‘.

it’s good to see that we have people who bother to come up with ways to counter-attack dan brown’s points in his book. this is a creative non violent way to protest/attack!
