Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?

[Harry Nevis]

Now admittedly, no miraculous claims are being made with respect to these other historical figures. So what? The point SteveII, RoadRunner79, and I are making is that  skeptics have abandoned objectivity by ruling out the possibility of supernatural events in advance. In fact, they say that the mere mention of miraculous events in the accounts is proof that the accounts of miracles are false. That move is a basic logical fallacy called "Begging the Question."

It wouldn't be objective to claim the supernatural may exist, after centuries of being shown how every instance has been thoroughly debunked and/or having no evidence beyond hearsay. Show me something concrete, some event that has no other possible explanation than that the supernatural exists, and I'll change my mind.  But, looking at its' track record, if it DOES exist, it may as well not for all the effect it has.
