Arguments Against Miracles

RE: Arguments Against Miracles
(March 26, 2012 at 5:56 am)Godschild Wrote: God is outside his creation, He does interact within it, miracles are by definition unnatural. God being creator does not have to obey the laws that man places on this universe.

Speaking in terms of the ontological argument. If all things observed have a cause, and God is the first cause.
Interacting with his creation without adherence to the natural laws, would be repeated instances of the universe doing things which have no observable empirical causation.

His own interference refutes the ontological argument, and negates his existence in that argument. I find that amusing, but I'm easily amused.
Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.
