Prove they did. The burden of proof is on you as you believe them to be true in spite of modern science saying they can't happen.

I don't see why this is a shock to you. None of us has ever seen or heard any evidence of these things happening except through religious traditions. Isn't the burden of proof on you to prove that these things didn't happen? Why should we believe the words of the Bible if we don't believe it to be divinely inspired?

I like to think of science as knowledge about the physical world learned through falsifiable testing through the scientific method.

But it doesn't matter if I say science disproves them or not. Have you heard or seen credible evidence of any of those things happening in the past 500 years? We make the assumption that the physical laws of the universe haven't changed in the past million years. You do not, or at least you believe that God bent these laws to suit his whims in the past. Since we don't see evidence of this bending today, doesn't it fall on you to show us that this is even possible?

Not in NR's world. And he thinks we're all fools for even suggesting such a thing.

I'm not exactly arguing his point though. I'm saying that the burden of proof falls on you to provide evidence that these supernatural events could have occurred. I'm asking you to tell me why I should believe in these supernatural events if I don't believe in a divinely inspired Bible?

Why are you ignoring the rest of the body of my posts?
