Second, if we were comparing miracle claims of two religions, I'm sure you would not see any difference in them.
Quote:However, the question wasn't posed to you, nor was it a challenge to theists to convince atheists. The question was to theists, and asked how they differentiate evidence for their god from others.Ah, I see, the implication of my comment just floated by. I'm wondering why whichever specific miracle you can't prove would be evidence for your god as opposed to another (or, any god really), and why miraculous narratives in general are not evidence for other gods when they are, apparently, one of the things that you feel supports your own.
Quote:We'll see. Again, pose specifics, and when I'm done with Islam (or seem to be) I'll address it.
Nah, I'm done with the waiting and seeing bit, I'd rather find something you won't back out of first.
