Miracles and Anti-supernaturalism

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I hear a circular argument: If miracles are impossible, the report of any miraculous event must be false, and therefore, miracles are impossible.

No, sorry. It is not circular because:

I am defining miracles as special acts of God in the world.

So you're making an claim of objective fact. As there is no evidence of such an occurance, it is not circular to dismiss it. Actually it's common sense.

In fact, reading through your posts, it seems that you're the one posting a lot of circular arguments.

That said, I find the term 'anti-supernaturalism' odd. It presumes that the 'supernatural' (never heard a consensual definition on this term) is a viable idea worthy of active debate. It's not until evidence comes forward that allows us to test and re-test the claims to provide verifiable (no repeatable) data sets. To me its just hokum.
