As to your question, I can't think of any way someone could definitively prove that Jesus did not walk on water. It's ultimately a matter of faith. On the other hand, saying that the earth is literally 6000 years old is to ignore undeniable, overwhelming, and definitive evidence otherwise. Should a person ignorant enough to promote such a belief be entrusted with the most powerful office in the world? Not in my opinion.

Actually, you answered your own question via mine, which was my intent. You're cherry-picking.
So far as I know, we've got "undeniable, overwhelming, and definitive evidence" that man cannot of his own accord walk on water. And if that's not palatable enough for you, I've got a whole slate of others. How about a guy who parts a sea, so a few million Hebrews can walk across the seabed on dry ground? How about a guy who is cured of leprosy by skinny dipping in a dirty river? How about a guy who satiates a few thousand on a handful of bread and fish?
Or how about a supernatural being appearing to a teenager, giving him a gold Bible, and telling him to start his own church? Could a guy ignorant enough to promote such a belief be entrusted with the most powerful office in the world?
Not in your opinion.
