Sounds like a pointless test then!

Whether He changed the donkey or spoke through it the words were His regardless. By the way God created the universe and all in it in six days, it would not have been a strain to change the donkey in seconds. You're right there is no magic, unless you want to consider the story of evolution, God's powers are real and his power and magic have nothing in common.

OK so according to you the following is not magic:
  • A donkey not having to change anything about its body in order to be able to forced to talk even though it does not have the brain capacity or appropriate voice box to make human sounds
  • Mr God can talk through a donkey
  • Mr God created a universe and everything in it, including all galaxies, and the 400 billion stars and the countless trillions of planets in our own galaxy in 6 days even though a day is defined by the time in which your own part of the planet is exposed to your own solar system's sun

Yet the testable, repeatable, falsifiable, usable theory of evolution is magic.

So really, what you mean by magic is anything that works and not magic is something that cannot be explained or reproduced and makes no sense.

Got it.

(Have you considered swapping your definition around and using words the same way everyone else does? It helps with communicating)

Gee, don't you know that stars are just tiny points of light, no larger than the tip of a needle?  That's why they will be able to fall to the Earth.  Even Jesus knew that.  Besides, if we weren't at the center of the universe why are all of those tiny lights around us at night?  

I read about a guy in the Middle East who had a donkey colt that could speak 7 languages.  But he couldn't redeem it with a lamb so he had to break its neck in accordance with the 4th Commandment (Exodus 34:19-20).

Another demonstration that evolution is indeed what separates humans from monkeys.

Do you ever go to the doctor's GC and let them perform their magic on you when you're ill?

otherwise show me a science book as old as the bible that is current today.

Indeed. Repeat to yourself: Serpents talk, mankind came from incestuous relationships, the world was flooded despite no water in it for that and all your sins are forgiven if you you accept that before dying.

Tell us again drich, how could you possibly have aids in order to take a test? Were you in promiscuous relationships, using drugs or being gay? =) I think nobody asked you this.

A yes. god saved you and all we atheist should get aids to start believing. That is your warm message. Howcome the bible says nothing about aids, despite being that old?

I help a bloody co-worker who took a really bad fall. i did not understand why the others would not help him. He was the promiscuous one. At the time I got pretty bloodied up with his blood, and as a mechanic at the time I always had open wounds on our/my hands.. I think I mentioned this in my first accounting of this.

I helped him because he helped me when a 1200 lb engine came off a stand I was pushing and pinned me to the floor.

At the time of his accident he was very sickly and loosing weight, everyone thought he had aids (except me again before my doctor visit I never gave hm a second thought)
