I'm also sure that the one in five hundred year event where Judea is cold enough for lakes and shallow seas to freeze is how Jesus walked on "water."

Realize folks, I'm not dissin' Jesus. I'm just putting things into proper perspective. The kid had a lot of shit to deal with at an early age. He gets nothing but sympathy/empathy from me in that regard. And, he dealt with adversity as best he could.
Yes, he had a great base of general knowledge from which to draw due to his nomadic lifestyle coupled with his need to fit in. Mozart, for example, faced the same challenges.
He adapted. It's a human trait. The rest is marketing hype. Don't believe everything you read.
