Miracles and Anti-supernaturalism

[Zarith]

Delusions are a natural phenomena, not a supernatural phenomena.

And yet people posit supernatural explanations for these types of experiences. You seem quick to fall back on naturalism to prove your point when it is convenient, when in reality you have no basis to make claims like this.

Muhammad did not claim to be God.

Oh, OK, so if someone claims to be God then that is reason to take them seriously. Got it.

It is a well known fact that Muhammad had his visions during epileptic spells. I think that would have an effect on his credibility. Neither would I be a disciple of a man who had a nine year old wife, along with some others. Also, it is inconsistent to say Islam is a religion of peace, yet promise 72 virgins to those who die in battle. He is not my kind of religious leader.

Funny how you can't seem to direct that kind of reasoning back onto your own beliefs.

Your skepticism reminds me of the story about a man who thought he was dead and that dead people bleed. So the doc got him to work at a funeral home. After seeing that dead people don't bleed, the doc poked him and blood came out. The man exclaimed, "See, I told you dead people bleed!"

If you are a committed disciple of skepticism, no amount of evidence will phase you. I have an open mind, so I have explored the evidence for Jesus.

Cool story. There was a point in my life where I thought I believed the same stuff you did. I examined the evidence, and found very little evidence for miracles, dead people coming back to life, talking snakes and shrubberies, global floods, manna from heaven, and that sort of thing; but mountains of evidence of phony religions and man's propensity to make shit up. Even you must agree with the existence of many false religions.

If I were to witness any of these miraculous-type of events today, I would have to seriously reconsider my beliefs. Show me the money?
