No amount of "unexplained" reports combine to make a "magic" report or a "God" report. It is just an indication that we don't know everything. No one is claiming that we do.
Just like a hundred flawed arguments don't make a solid argument. A million anecdotes don't make one bit of hard data. A trillion coincidences don't establish your personal favourite magical explanation.
Try saying, "I don't know". It's a liberating phrase. Religion is cashing in repeatedly on people's discomfort with those three words.
Oh how the stench of your own irony is lost on you.
"TO YOU"
Yea and that is what we are trying to get you to see.
"TO YOU' is not an argument.
To others Jesus and the bible are right and YOU are wrong.
To others Yahweh is right and Muslims and Christians are wrong.
To others Hindus and the Vedas are right and everyone else is wrong.
To you, yea, sure, if you want to believe Allah is the one true god, and the Koran is his word, sure, if you want to believe that badly enough, you will. We are trying to tell you everyone falls for their emotions and everyone has books they like. You claiming to be special and different is not different than anyone of other religions.
I would suggest you merely like what you believe, and I would also suggest that humans make up ALL ALL ALL these religions because humans prefer a comforting lie over a a harsh reality. The good news for humanity, is they do not have to fear a finite existence. The bad news is humans are so stuck in an antiquated chase for a non existent utopia they cant see that they don't need any religion to do good or be good.
Do yourself a favor and stop being paranoid about our challenges to you. Nothing bad will happen to you in reality if you figure out what we have. And if you do accept that reality, you will feel a big sense of relief that you don't have to defend a book of myth.
We really are not singling you out because you are Muslim, and this is NOT a race or religion issue, this is a matter of how good logic works in reality, and how religion screws up our species ability to reason.
