Can't prove the supernatural God

[SteveII]

Let's cut to the chase. You think the description of miracles in the NT is untrue and therefore provide no support for the existence of miracles. Can you prove them to be untrue? No, you can give reasons why you think so. I think there are reasons to believe that it is true, so I think miracles happen. 

Steve this is one of those areas where you continually fall flat on your face. You assert that those things actually happened, it is therefore up to you to prove that they did. There is no need for us to prove your assertions false, especially as is the case with miracles those assertions are about the truthfulness of extremely unfeasible events.

You would have the same problem with me asking you to prove the theory of gravity wrong as I have with your continuous efforts to get us to prove your assertions wrong.

I never asked anyone to prove my assertions false. I have said over and over in this thread, exactly what you quoted above. You have reasons to think the events of Jesus life did not happen...and those reasons, when examined closely, just seem to be the claim that supernatural events do not happen. Therefore the argument goes: supernatural events did not happen because supernatural events cannot happen. Tell me why that is not circular.


Your illustration of me proving theory of gravity wrong is disanalogous to a discussion on historical events.

I happen to believe the events of Jesus' life are recorded accurately enough. I am not typing them again, so you can look back even a page or two if you want to know what they are. Additionally, I find theories of "honest mistake" or "vast conspiracy" not having any real substance--seems like people just throwing stuff against the wall to see what might stick.
