Was the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with just five loaves and two fish a little less than miraculous? Well, that’s what a group of scientists are claiming in a recent paper published in a scientific journal. Instead of a supernatural provision by the Lord, they claim the feeding of the 5,000 and the 4,000, along with the miraculous catch of fish, “were merely coincidental events.”
These scientists were studying Lake Kinneret, which they identify as the Sea of Galilee from the New Testament. They placed temperature sensors and oxygen monitoring devices deep into the lake and tested both wind speed and direction on the surface. They then examined “modern historical accounts of fish die-offs.” Their research found:
They found short periods of time when winds across the surface of the lake were strong enough to pull oxygen from its depths, leaving little to none for aquatic life.
The result was a sudden die-off, which, to a person on shore or in a boat, looked like a mass number of fish slowly rising to the surface of the lake, allowing them to be easily caught—as was the case in accounts from the Bible.
These researchers believe that, while Jesus was teaching, a wind blew over the lake, and thermal stratification reduced the oxygen in the water and large numbers of fish died, floated to the surface, and bobbed their way up onto the shore where “they could be easily collected by a hungry populace.” They also claim that when Jesus told his weary disciples, who’d fished all night and caught nothing, to throw their nets on the other side of the lake, they drew in so many fish because there had been a mass die-off and the fish were easy pickings.
I imagine you’re probably laughing at this point. It’s just so silly when we compare what they claim with the biblical account.
For example, the popular science article claims the fish were easily caught as “was the case in accounts from the Bible.” But is that what the Bible teaches when it comes to the five loaves and two fish? […]
