I'm not trying to provide any information that has to do with theology here. All we've thought is about the natural process. What theologians or anybody else does with that it's their business so to speak.

This isn't going to convince a believer not to believe, and nobody's trying to do that. At least, I'm not trying to do that. I personally believe that all these biblical stories are based on some truth.

Since the springs ice is relatively small, a person standing or walking on it may appear to an observer situated some distance away to be walking on water.

We simply explain that unique freezing processes probably happened in that region only a handful of times during the last 12,000 years. We leave to others the question of whether or not our research explains the biblical account.

This is just what we say could have happened. How that fits into an individual's system of beliefs, I don't know.
