Basic life concept: Weather men don't have a great reputation for predicting the weather.
Basic science concept: Mass cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change form.
Not-quite-so-basic science concept: Surface tension in water is what causes it to have that curved look when it seems to have overflowed the glass. Water molecules want to cling to each other, and at the top of the glass they have less other water molecules to cling to, so they cling to the existing ones even more strongly. At 20°C, the surface tension of water is 0.0728 Newtons/meter. It doesn't take very much to break that surface tension, though!
Now think about this:
Jesus didn't just predict the weather. He controlled it. (Matthew 8:23-27)
There have only been a few points in history when matter and mass have been created or destroyed. Jesus was present at and behind all of them. (Matthew 14:13-21, Genesis 1, John 2:1-11)
The average force a 30-year-old man applies downwards (due to the force of gravity) is 175 Newtons. Even if Jesus was a midget who only applied 100 Newtons of force, He still, according the "laws" of our world, should have sunk through the water. Yet He did not! (Matthew 14:22-33)
Jesus is God, and God is Sovereign. He created this world and He is in control. Small things like scientific laws don't get in His way.
