I am not aware of a single event that comes close to a parting of the sea or fitting two of every species on a boat, being swallowed by a whale, feeding whatever that number was with a single loaf of bread, etc., etc., etc. All it would take is one undeniably divine miracle like the dozens (hundreds?) "documented" in the bible, and this forum would be history. Someone please enlighten me as to the reason for the cessation of big-time miracles.
Well Paul Bunion created the Grand Canyon one day when he dragged his axe on the ground while he was walking. Oh, wait, wrong myth series.
Sorry I came in on this thread late. I just had to leave a smart ass comment about this.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
