Miracles and Anti-supernaturalism

[Bad Writer]

Tacitus (55-120 AD, Annuls), Lucian of Samosata (later half of 1st century, Suetonius (Life of Claidius, 25.4), Pliny the Younger (112 AD), Thallus (52 AD quotes from Julius Africanus’ Chronography), Phlegon (quotes from Julius Africanus’ Chronicles), Mara Bar-Serapion (after 70 AD) all are non-Christian sources that, though they are biased against Christianity, never deny that Jesus existed. You can find these quotes in Josh McDowell’s book, New Evidence that Demands a Verdict.

How exactly is a person that lived 20-90 years following the death of someone supposed to be a contemporary?

The Bible would have to be a history book for their accounts to be considered historical.

The New Testament has tons of historical facts that have been confirmed by archiological evidence.

So does "The Da Vinci Code". Does that make this a factual book?

God would not ask me to accept a relationship with Him on blind faith.

Then why does he?

Faith, in the Catholic view, is based on reason.

Please don't lie to me.

My theory that God exists is a better explanation of the evidence than yours is. Yours is a circular argument that says, "If miracles are impossible, then the report of any miraculous event must be false, and thererefore, miracles are impossible."

I stopped taking you seriously once you started putting words in my mouth.
