Science and religion

[Darkstar]

"Miracles are magic therefore impossible" is this supposed to be an argument? It is not self evident that magic is impossible.

It isn't? If science could explain it, it would no longer be magic.

You havn't disproved the existence of miracles and you won't. You assume that everything must be scientifically proven for it to be true, but you don't argue this, you assume it.

Well, something not being scientifically proven doesn't mean it isn't true. If there is strong evidence, then we can conclude that it is at least probable. If there is no evidence, then we can conclude that it is improbable. The more likely it is that we would find evidence (relatively quickly) if it were true, the less likely it is to be true if we find no evidence.

Anecdotal evidence is the weakest kind, by the way, as it cannot be verified, and human senses are fallible, and can misinterpret what they think they witnessed.
