I can now see that you just made it all up to poke fun at us.

I was certainly fooled.

Thank you for the retraction. It makes me feel much better knowing that your god isn't a circus performer.

Incidentally, you're the second Christian that I know of in this forum who claimed to know of this kind of miracle happening and later admitted he couldn't (wouldn't?) back up the claim.

Is it typical of Christians to make phony claims and then back pedal when asked for evidence, or are you and this other Christian I just mentioned aberrations?

I look forward to your answer.

So when the gospel writer says Jesus ascended into heaven, Jesus didn't really ascend into heaven, it just looked to the writer as though Jesus did.

Thanks for the clarification. It helps with many biblical passages to know that the events didn't happen as described but just appeared to happen as described.

aChristian is going to produce irrefutable evidence of a knuckle growing back as a result of prayer. I think we should settle for that for now and not go scaring him away by demanding a new arm or leg.

Let's be grateful for this remarkable evidence that a loving god exists, that aChristian's god can restore missing body parts at will, and that we have found the proper prayers to bring about this truly remarkable miracle.

Just imagine what this discovery will do at veterans' hospitals!

Thank you.

I agree with the possible exception that there may be evidence supporting other miracles that in turn support the resurrection. However, I don't think that you need them. I think the historical facts are enough. I don't think that you have to assume miracles to prove the resurrection. I think the only assumption that you need to make is that something exists and maybe that our five senses are reasonably trustworthy.


Agreed


Sorry to disappoint, but I am out of time right now. I plan on doing this next time I get on here.
