RE: How does "Science prove that the miracles of the Bible did not happen" ?

Emzap, forget miracles. Let's stick to prosaic reality claims. What scientific evidence can you (or your instructors) provide to support the claim that the Exodus actually happened? Such a large and lengthy migration must have left some kind of archaeological evidence behind. We know that archaeologists have scoured the Sinai looking for such evidence. What's the current scientific consensus?

That's the fun thing about the biblical narrative, the magically miraculous is easy...because honestly, once we invoke magic the dearth of evidence or evidence to the contrary is no longer a problem. Because magic. The little shit, seemingly innocuous, like what's described above..or the colored stick theory of livestock heredity as employed by Jacob in Gen 30.....that's the sort of stuff that makes me look askance at people who tell me that they really believe in the narrative, and further, that science hasn;t or even can't "prove it wrong".
Any idiot with colored sticks and livestock to breed could prove that wrong. You don't need a gene sequencer.

Jacob and the virile sticks.
Always loved that little tale.

But he didn't make the earth stop spinning! He made the sun stop moving through the sky for a day! Checkmate, atheists!
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

They're actually red bottomed pixies living in your basement.
How did they get the red bottoms?.......could it be because of a certain bottom obsessed member?
What the pixies do with their members should not be open for our speculation.

I wonder if it's gone. Maybe we should have slow played a little more. Oh, well, there is plenty more out there. (shudders)
