Divine Inspiration

[LadyForCamus]

Okay, so, resurrection after three days of actual complete death you accept is scientifically impossible, and would require a miracle. And, you believe that particular miracle did, in fact, happen as described in the Bible. But, talking donkeys and bushes, which are also described in the Bible, and which you also accept as scientifically impossible without a miracle, you do not hold a positive belief that either of those literally happened. Is that an accurate summation of your position? If so, would you mind explaining the method you used to determine which of these claims was likely a true miracle, and which were likely not? In other words, do you have a confidence level of one supernatural claim that is higher than your confidence level in another, and how did you reach those levels?

I do hold a positive belief in miracles. Burning bush, talking donkey, water from a rock, miraculous healing, walking on water, controlling storms, etc. I do have a confidence level in the resurrection miracle  over most of the other miracles. Most of that is probably due to indoctrination and bias.

I respect and applaud your raw honesty here. That’s awesome. To push just a little further if you don’t mind; being cognizant of how bias and indoctrination can influence confidence levels doesn’t cause to you re-evaluate those levels? Would you agree that if you were raised Muslim, your confidence level in the proposition that Jesus is the son of god would be far lower than it is today?  Based on that example, would you say that indoctrination is a valid method for arriving at confidence levels about such claims?
