For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus

Do unexplained things happen? Yes. A neighbor had his tank flip over and crush part of his skull. The doctors said he might not live long, let along lead a normal life. He walks with a limp and got married and has a baby. Was it prayer? Or was it that the body repaired itself without a supernatural power cursing through him? Some people can see a miricle in a falling raindrop. Others see the atmosphere doing what it does best. Now there is a Jewish tradition that every blade of grass has an angle sitting on it shouting "GROW!", and without them there would be no miraculous growth. I hold that grass is doing what it is supposed to do, and when the impediments are removed, they do very well without angels.

Anecdotal?!

I said: "CONFIRMED"....and by atheistic doctor(s) (more than 2) actually rushing there to disprove God!

Ok, let us sort through, and make sense of your anecdotal reply..... you have faith...eh....think that there is a physical answer for these "unexplained" natural occurring events...you just don't know "exactly" what it is that makes a person with a crushed skull move about and make babies? But it's certainly not supernatural.

Now.... the answer I usually receive from an atheist would be that someone smart enough just hasn't figured it out yet..... Like: the world was flat at one time..... somewhat in the realm with your answer....I guess!

....do you see the irony here though? I'm told by you, and others here that there is "some physical explanation", but you have no proof!

I say there is proof but you can't see it...yet! Is your poetic response to the "unexplained" any better than my religious beliefs? Especially if it's based on what we "think", and not on what is evident to either of us?

So, what is all this really about?Thinking FAITH vs REASON
Quis ut Deus?
