Faith is a measure of irrationality

[GrandizerII]

Well, I'm not sure that doubling down on miracles is really the best way to go about demonstrating that -even one- miracle actually occurred. I would like to see, when you say things like "you see" but I just don't. I can't even begin to analyze this claim because it's being put out as an empty shell.

"Miracles and stuff happen, to people, you know, like things that are hard to explain, nothing in particular...but alot of the time......"

Can you see why this might be confusing?

Sure I can.

But if I told you my mother died of a heart attack, and the hospital needed a "special" machine (that was lent to a nearby hospital) that starts the heart from inside the body,just appeared in her room and she came back to life.... would you then believe in God?

Would that change your mind about anything?

I'd need more details about this if I ever were to change my mind. So far, it is easy to think of some naturalistic explanation for the scenario you only briefly described. Who told you she died at that point? You probably answered this later on, but if not, I'd like to know.

By the way, did you know memory tends to be reconstructive? And that, rather than describing some fading photograph we supposedly have in our mind, we actually recall by reconstructing the event as we fit in all the details according to certain schemas that have been established in our mind through past experience and prior knowledge.

If this is true, one can see why memory can be very unreliable at times.
