Let's suppose for a moment that the instant wine that Jesus miraculously made from water was taken into a lab for testing.
The data would show that the wine had been properly processed through fermentation and aging, this observation would not prove to the tester that a man changed the properties of water into wine in a twinkling of an eye nor would the tester agree with any one person suggesting that science is merely the study of God's creation.
We know this to be the case with evolution.. Evolutionary biologists will never accept the possibility of an almighty creator compressing billions of years of carbon data into 6 days.
Darwins theory is anything but original, ancient greek philosophers made the same claims foolishly. The concept of matter and atoms was well known in ancient times, however vain imaginations of certain men led to the erroneous teaching that all matter had no beginning, thus no creator.
The ancients believed that mankind began as brute cave dwelling animals incapable of speech but later developed it for survival means by uttering sounds to neighbors when attempting to describe a nearby threat, such as wild animals. As the utterances became common words, they formed complex sentences into dialogue, creating a unique trait that allowed mankind to exchange ideas and form civilizations..
Fast-forward to the 1920s, decades after the death of Charles Darwin and science began waking up to the realization of a "premival atom" or "the singularity" from which the entire universe originated.
Fast-forward again to the 1960s and the Big Bang theory is common knowledge, beating out the former "steady state" theory (matter having no beginning).
So now we have 'time, space and matter', all three having no prior existence, nor any expectations of existing, nor any say in the matter, no will of it's own, becoming suddenly, from out of nowhere, in a twinkling of an eye, and for no apparent reason, from "nothing" .. EVERYTHING!!
If science can say that the universe and all things in it suddenly appeared from out of nothing, than why would Jesus turning water into wine seem so mythical to them?
They can conclude by mere sight, taste and smell that the wine is indeed wine, they can study and test the properties contained within it, so also do they conclude that the oldest rocks are billions of years old, but by not witnessing it's formation they can equally dismiss its possible creation.
One last thing, light travels pretty quick, God spoke it into being and there it was.. however, when creating the earth, God speaks more like a director in the sense that he is directing the earth to perform rapid animations to produce that days work. Just imagine seeing the whole evolutionary process of the earth through a timelapse video compressed into 6 days!!
