The fact that stories of miracles are typically done in remote regions, or in private, or among primitive savages, strongly suggests that the stories are just bullshit. And so when we conclude that the miracle stories of the Bible are bullshit, we are reasoning well.
You might be if all the miracles of the Bible were done in remote regions, or in private, or among primitive savages. But, that's not the case.
Quote:And we are reasoning as you do for other religions, as you dismiss their miracles and do not regard their miracle stories as proving that Islam is true or that Hinduism is true or etc. The simple fact is, you are inconsistent about these matters, which means that you are not only wrong, but are necessarily wrong.
Muhammed didn't claim any miracles while alive, except the koran itself, which is clearly circular.
